write_buf()

Description

Write data to selected peripheral.

Syntax

write_buf(id, length, source[]);

In case SMS id was used, then syntax looks like so:

write_buf(id, length, phone_number, source[]);

Parameters

Variable	Input

Variable	Input
`id`	Sensor_STRING1 - Write data into Sensor_STRING1. Sensor_STRING2 - Write data into Sensor_STRING2. Sensor_STRING3 - Write data into Sensor_STRING3. Sensor_STRING4 - Write data into Sensor_STRING4. RS232 - Writes data into RS232 peripheral. RS485 - Writes data into RS485 peripheral. SMS - Sends SMS message. Kline - Writes data into one wire peripheral.
`length`	Number of data bytes to be sent/written in (decimal number).
`phone_number`	This variable only applies for SMS ID. This is where you should write phone number into which data will be sent.
`source[]`	Data which will be written to sensor or peripheral.

Returns

Return value	Return explanation
SCRIPT_OPERATION_SUCCESS	Success
SCRIPT_OPERATION_FAILED	Failed
SCRIPT_NO_ACCESS	Peripheral not initialized.
SCRIPT_PARAM_INVALID	Passed parameters invalid.

Function call example

Example of writing to RS232 buffer

new rs[10] = ''IN4 //use double single commas for writing string into buffer

main()
{
  Init(RS232, 9600,  WORDLENGTH_8, STOPBITS_1, PARITY_NONE);

  while(1)
  {
      if(get_val(Sensor_SignalIN4) == 0)
      {							
          write_buf(RS232, 7 ,"IN4 OFF"); //write 7 bytes of data to RS232 by writing directly
      }
      if(get_val(Sensor_SignalIN4) == 1)
      {
          write_buf(RS232, 6 ,rs); //write 6 bytes of data to RS232 by writing via preset array
      }
    Delay(1000); // Delay 1 sec.
  }
}

Notes and Warnings

Please do use double single commas (' and ') instead of single double comma (") for writing string into peripheral. If used single double comma, then data might get corrupted.
