Serial Communication with MsActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center
The serial communication works in all Windows CE devices and you only need to have a free serial port on your PC, a standard serial cable and the Active Sync or Windows Mobile Device Center installed on the Desktop. The communication velocity can go up to 115200 baud rate.
To get serial communication you need to carry out the following steps:
Install Active Sync or Windows Mobile Device Center on the Desktop. Once installed select the COM port you want to use. Active Sync will remain active, on hold, in wait for serial signal reception. ATTENTION: keep the serial port engaged even when no Active Sync communications are active. To free the serial you need to enable the connection option to the serial which is accessed from the "File-Connections setting.." menu
Open the control panel on the Target device and access the "Communication" settings
Enable the "Allow connection with Desktop computer when device is connected" selection in the "PC Connection" properties
Always check that the connection being used is correct in the "PC Connection" properties. You can always create new communications afterwards by accessing "Remote Networking" folder from the Programs/Communication
Close the Communication Settings window with OK. Close the control Panel
Connect the Desktop and Target device with a standard serial cable
Run the executable "repllog.exe" by selecting Run item from the Windows CE start menu accessed from the task bar
The communication will activate automatically
A window will open, on the Active Sync or Windows Mobile Device Center Desktop, enquiring whether to activate a "Partnership". It is not necessary to activate a partnership of the Movicon functions
The serial communication is now active
By using this type of connection you can transfer files between two devices, the Desktop and the Target. The "Mobile Device" can be displayed by using the Desktop's explorer to which you can access for reading or writing files. In addition to this you can export Movicon projects directly to the Target without having to "copy&paste". After having created a Movicon project you can actually execute the "Upload Project to Device/FTP..." from the"Commands" windows of the "Project Explorer" window. If the connection between the Desktop and the Target has already been activated by using one of the plugins, Movicon will directly export the project to the Target, keeping the same .movprj source file path.
Communication on USB port
The communication on USB port is usually available in PocketPCs and in almost all of the SSDK devices because it is the simplest type to put into effect. In fact, you only have to connect cable to the PC's USB port and wait until the communication is established automatically.
