Custom App/Plugin
Overview
You can create custom applications for the IOLAN by using the Perle SDK. See the SDK
Programmer’s Guide (the SDK and guide are accessible via a request form located on the Perle
website at
www.perle.com/supportfiles/SDK_Request.shtml) for information about the
functions that are supported. You must download the program and any ancillary files to the IOLAN
and set the
Serial Port Profile to Custom App/Plugin to run a custom application. You must also
specify the program executable in the
Command Line parameter.
A custom application or plugin can be run on the serial port. In this situation, the application will start
once the serial port is activated and operate solely on the context of that serial port and any network
communications related to that serial port. You could run a different custom application on each serial
port. The serial port custom application or plugin is configured by specifying the
Custom
App/Plugin
profile for the serial port.
The system level custom application or plugin will begin execution immediately following the system
startup. It runs on the context of the whole system and can access network communications as well as
any or all serial ports.
