Procedure
Build Custom Communication Enablers
Determine the functions to be supported.
Determine the device models to be supported and the memory locations to be made accessible for each device-supported model.
Write specialized routines for each supported function.
Use the build procedures provided by the Device Communications Toolkit to compile the specialized routines and create an executable.
Create Configuration
Before you can run the executable, you must create configuration files that identify:
The name of the executable
The port(s) the enabler can use
The device model(s) the enabler will support
The memory locations the enabler will support for each supported model (optional)
Execute the Customized Communications Enabler
After you create the executable and configuration files and place them in the appropriate locations, you may configure the enabler in CIMPLICITY software and run it.
