Hi Ben,

Any luck on it or is it a big bug?

Hi Ben,

I have tried to get this to work with a second ethernet hardware port but still have problems when I use the second ethernet com component it stops the first from working and both don't work.

Thanks

We have changed the communication DLL so that multiple concurrent channels can coexist, but this requires testing and changes to some of the Flowcode's components. Hopefully we will have a solution soon.

Thank you for the feedback Steve.

Hi Wayne,

It appears we have now solved the problem. I'll push some updates out for you tomorrow and hopefully that will solve it for you too. You will also need the new DLL file so I'll upload that here for now as it won't come in via the update system.

You will need to have one Network Comms component for each unique TCP/IP communication you need to have going.

Hi Ben,

Thanks for all the great help.

I will be waiting for the update and new DLL.

Thanks

Hi Wayne,

I've now pushed the updates to the components to the library update system and please find the latest DLL attached here.

TCPIP_DLL.zip

(62.85 KiB) Downloaded 826 times

The DLL needs to be extracted from the zip and placed here in your Flowcode installation directory. Probably something like this.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Flowcode 9\data\API.DLL\


With the latest DLL and updates there will be a new property on the Network Comms component called TCPIP Channel. Just make sure this is unique for each Network Comms component and you should then be good to go.

Fingers crossed and let us know how you get on.

Hi Ben.
Thanks for sorting the problem out. It now works well.
The only problem I had is with antivirus not liking the DLL.

Thanks for the great work.

Excellent that's great news and thanks that reminds me the dll probably needs signing. I'll do that ASAP and re-release.
