SIC Marking Serial Binary Communication Interface API

The DASTEC Corporation SIC Marking Serial Binary .NET Communication API allows the user to implement bi‑directional serial binary communications to exchange data between applications running on a PC-based or embedded system with other devices supporting the SIC Marking binary serial protocol. The API eliminates the need to understand the details of the SIC Marking binary protocol and simplifying the development of sophisticated supervisory control applications using the .NET program languages such as  (C++, Visual Basic, C#, etc.).

The API supports the SIC Marking binary protocol over a RS-232 or RS-422/RS-485 serial network. This protocol is documented in the SIC MARKING COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL E8-V6 manual (NOTPROTOE8V6US - R01.doc). The API implements Version 5 of the protocol and supports the SIC Marking E8 and any other devices that support the SIC Marking binary version 5 serial protocol.

API Functionality

To exchange data with a SIC Marking device, a system application can initiate read and/or write operation(s) to the device by simply calling the assembly class methods.  The methods include the ability to create sets of commands and then sending those command set(s) to the devices by calling assembly transmit methods. Operation results are returned to the calling application via events, as is data in the case of read operations or other commands that result in data returned from the machine.
