Retrieve Unit serial number

[A_Mia]

How would I retrieve the hardware serial number from the V230 throught the .net interface?

 

Currently I'm following the documented example of

 

          plc = PLCFactory.GetPLC(serial, 0)

            Dim version As PlcVersion = plc.Version
  
            System.Diagnostics.Debug.Print(version.OSVersion)
            System.Diagnostics.Debug.Print(version.HWVersion)
            System.Diagnostics.Debug.Print(version.OPLCModel)
            System.Diagnostics.Debug.Print(version.Boot)

            plc.RTC = DateTime.Now ' write current time and date to the PLC
 

 

Thanks

Aaron

The serial port number is the serial number on your computer.

 

Use the Serial constructer in order to create a Serial port channel.

Hi Aaron,

 

Are you wanting to retrieve the Unique PLC ID that is assigned to each Controller? I'm not 100% sure if the Unique PLC ID is related to the Hardware Serial Number..

 

To retrieve the Unique ID you need to perform a simple Operand Read Operation to read System Double-Word #9 (SDW9).

 

If you need a code example on how to do this please let me know.
