16 Chapter 2: VCode orientation VCode User Guide Overview of the software architecture Introduction This topic gives an overview of the VCode’s software architecture. This information will help you to understand the different options for controlling and networking the VCode, which might be useful when planning an integration or installation. Architecture diagram An overview of the software is given in the following diagram. Computer VCode Serial commands Serial Port ActiveX commands PlateTag VCode TCP/IP commands ActiveX, including diagnostics ActiveX commands ActiveX commands BenchWorks VWorks VCode TCP/IP commands Ethernet switch TCP/IP commands Ethernet Network card ActiveX commands Third-party lab automation software Architecture description ActiveX software PlateTag, VWorks, BenchWorks, or third-party lab automation software receives input from you as you perform actions in the user interface. The software responds by sending ActiveX commands to the ActiveX software. ActiveX is a set of Microsoft® Windows®-based technologies that allows software components to interact with each other regardless of the programming language in which the components were created. Using ActiveX, simple commands initiate complex operations in connected VCodes. The VCode ActiveX software includes: ❑ VCode Diagnostics ❑ Methods, which control individual operations ❑ Properties, which set the values used in methods, such as Blocking = TRUE
Chapter 2: VCode orientation VCode User Guide 17 ❑ Events, which are notifications that methods are complete or have errors Networking The ActiveX commands are converted into a format that can be carried over serial or Ethernet network cables and sent to the VCode’s firmware. The profile that you select in PlateTag, VWorks or BenchWorks sets the communication parameters and determines whether serial or Ethernet communication is used. By using an Ethernet switch you can communicate with more than one VCode. You can communicate with more than one VCode using serial cables if you have more than one serial connector (COM port), if you use a USB to serial adapter, or if you use a multiport serial adapter.
