<strong>Barrel</strong> TemperatureControllersSoftware OptionsWATCONNECTCommunicationsLibraryWATCONNECT is Watlow’s newWindows ® -based software library forModbus-RTU <strong>com</strong>munications. Thissoftware tool kit makes it easy forprogrammers working in Visual Basic,C, C++ and Visual C++ to developWindows ® applications that <strong>com</strong>municatewith Watlow controllers usingthe Modbus RTU protocol. Thesimplicity of the interface insures ashort learning curve and shorteneddevelopment times for HumanMachine Interface or other applicationsthat <strong>com</strong>municate withcontrollers.The main benefit of the tool kit is thatthe programmer does not need tolearn the details of the Modbusprotocol or the operation of aWindows ® serial port to successfullydevelop programs that read and setparameter values in controllers. Thelibrary provides four, easy-to-usefunctions: open port, close port, readdata and write data. To use thesefunctions, the programmer justneeds to know the <strong>com</strong>municationsport settings and address of thedesired data.For more information, please contactyour local Watlow representative.Features and BenefitsAllows <strong>com</strong>munication with one to247 controllers• ScalableSafe for multi-threadedapplications• Several parts of a program canuse the same <strong>com</strong>municationsportSingle source solution• Eliminates multiple vendors• Assures <strong>com</strong>patibility• Saves time and moneyLicense agreement allows userwritten applications to bedistributed royalty free• Adds no recurring cost toapplicationsSample code provided for VisualC++ and Visual Basicenvironments• Easy to follow examples shortenthe learning curveReads and writes all standardModbus data table locations:coils, inputs and registers• Allows access to all controllerparametersCan handle custom-named portssuch as serial port expanders• Assures flexibilityControllers Supported:WATCONNECT supports thefollowing controllers when equippedwith the listed firmware revision orlater:• CLS200 standard, enhanced andextruder (Rev. 3.30), ramp andsoak (Rev. 3.40)• SERIES SD Dual Display(Rev. 1.00)• SERIES SD Dual Display Limit(Rev. 1.00)Windows ® is a registered trademark of MicrosoftCorporation.Modbus is trademark of Schneider AutomationCorporation.182
