This is an example of connecting to the 6k via Ethernet.
Note:The 172.20.34.145 is the address of the 6k which can be found by a NTADDR command from the terminal of Motion Planner.
/*create an object variable, initialize it to an Ethernet
interface and make a connection */
Inet commserver;
commserver.CreateDispatch ("COM6SRVR.NET");
commserver.connect("172.20.34.145");
This is an example of connecting to the 6k via RS232. There is also a serial communications example on our website called WIN32SERIAL.ZIP.
