The software described below, is part of the Anybus CompactCom Starter Kit and is available at
www.anybus.com/starterkit40.
4.2 Transport Provider
The Transport Provider is a set of drivers that allows a PC with Microsoft Windows
™
installed to
communicate with HMS products via so called Transport Paths.
A Transport Path is set up once and can then be reused by all PC applications from HMS that
need a Transport Path.
4.3 Host Application Example Code
When starting an implementation of the Anybus CompactCom 30 or the Anybus CompactCom
40, the example code and the guide describing it will help to speed up the development process.
The host application example code includes a driver, which acts as glue between the Anybus
CompactCom module and the host application. The driver has an API (Application Program-
ming Interface), which defines a common interface to the driver. Also included in the example
code is an example application which makes use of the API to form an application that can be
used as a base for the final product.
The host application example code is available from www.anybus.com/starterkit40, along with
the Host Application Implementation Guide. This document describes the code, and also pro-
vides a guide for making a simple implementation and tips for further development.
