Serial

warning

Serial port support is currently only available on Linux. We are waiting for Windows support to stabilize in a downstream dependency.

Creating an outstation bound to a serial port is done using the Outstation::createSerialSession method. In addition to the common components, this method takes the following serial port parameters:

• path of the serial device (e.g. COM3 on windows or /dev/ttyS3 on Linux)
• SerialPortSettings struct:
  • baud rate
  • data bits
  • stop bits
  • parity
  • flow control

The method opens the port and will fail if the port doesn't exist or is already in use. The returned Outstation class behaves identically to other transports.

note

The LinkErrorMode is internally set to Discard for serial communication channels.
