Setup

Needed Variables

UDPCommMgr_typ commMgr;
STRING[255] sendBuffer;
STRING[255] recvBuffer;

Initialization

commMgr.IN.PAR.pSendData = &sendBuffer;
commMgr.IN.PAR.pReceiveData = &recvBuffer;
commMgr.IN.PAR.MaxReceiveLength = sizeof(recvBuffer);

strcpy(commMgr.IN.CFG.LocalInterface.IPAddress, "127.0.0.1");
commMgr.IN.CFG.LocalInterface.Port = 5000;

strcpy(commMgr.IN.CFG.RemoteInterface.IPAddress, "127.0.0.1");
commMgr.IN.CFG.RemoteInterface.Port = 5001;

Sending Data

Set commMgr.IN.PAR.SendLength to the number of bytes to send, then set commMgr.IN.CMD.Send to trigger the send (or hold it TRUE continuously if AllowContinuousSend is set). commMgr.OUT.STAT.DataSent goes TRUE once the datagram has been sent, and commMgr.OUT.STAT.SentDataLength reports how many bytes went out.

commMgr.IN.PAR.SendLength = strlen(sendBuffer);
commMgr.IN.CMD.Send = TRUE;

// Call UDPCommFn_Cyclic(&commMgr) every scan while commMgr.IN.CMD.Enable is TRUE

if (commMgr.OUT.STAT.DataSent) {
	commMgr.IN.CMD.Send = FALSE;
}

Receiving Data

While the communication manager is enabled, incoming datagrams are copied into commMgr.IN.PAR.pReceiveData automatically. commMgr.OUT.STAT.NewDataAvailable goes TRUE when a datagram has arrived, with commMgr.OUT.STAT.ReceivedDataLength and commMgr.OUT.STAT.ReceivedFromInterface describing it. Set commMgr.IN.CMD.AcknowledgeData to clear the flag and resume listening for the next datagram (or set AllowContinuousReceive to clear it automatically).

if (commMgr.OUT.STAT.NewDataAvailable) {
	// recvBuffer now holds commMgr.OUT.STAT.ReceivedDataLength bytes
	commMgr.IN.CMD.AcknowledgeData = TRUE;
}
