RLINK communication driver is the driver to communicate with lighting controller of GE in U.S.A.
There is same 3 types for RLINK protocol, that is RLINK, DLL-RLINK and DLL-GE TLC. (DLL-GE TLC is newest driver)
<Figure 1> is read setting example of RLINK communication driver.

Refer to RLINK instructions for way of use about RLINK communication setting, because device settings are different according to communication setting of RLINK.
In case of using DLL-RLINK, you can use ScanDelayTime and LinkDelayTime at protocol option. (Default value 2 sec, 2 sec)
Scan Delay Time means to attempt to do each scan line once every 2 seconds.
LinkDelayTime is time to decide to send CR sign once every few seconds, to receive Link sign before communicating with communication module.
RLINK READ schedule
Read schedule setting parameters are as follows:
1) STATION - ADDRESS of controller. (Between 0 and 999)
2) Read Command - Don't care.
3) Read Start Address - Don't care.
4) Save Start Address for Communication Server - Position of ScanBuf to save the read value.
5) Read Size - The number of WORD to read.
READ schedule example)
READ, 22, 0, 0, 0, 3,
READ, 23, 0, 0, 3, 3,
The reason for not using read address is because one STATION doesn't use over 3 WORDs, so, it doesn't need read address, because it reads all channels value at a time.
Write to direct address of controller, regardless of SCAN File.
Composition of controller's address starts from 1, but AutoBase starts from 0.
Digital Write
Digital write setting parameters are as follows :
1) PORT : Connected PORT number.
2) STATION : STATION number of RLINK.(0~999)
3) ADDRESS : Output channel number.
Write example)
PORT : 0 STATION:18 ADDRESS:0003
If you set as above, you can control(ON/OFF) 4th channel of no.18 STATION.
Analog Write
There is no analog output area at RLINK.
