cFP-1804 and Measurement Studio

[Lukas_S]

I have a cFP-1804 (Firmware 6.05) with a DI-304 a DO-403 and a PF-522 Module installed in the Network. I can read and set the IOs with MAX, but now i want to control the unit with Measurement studio (8.1.1 with VS2005 c#).

I haven't an idea how to start. Speed isn't important, it should only work.

Where can I find an example?

Thanks!

Thanks for the Links! But I need aditional Help 😞
I have tried with DataSockets.

dataSocketRead.Connect("lookout://10.10.0.99/FP/2DI/00", AccessMode.Read); //Connects to Channel 0 from the cFP-DI-304

dataSocketWrite.Connect("lookout://10.10.0.99/FP/3DO/00", AccessMode.Write); //Connects to Channel 0 from the cFP-DO-403

It works with the DO-403 and DI-304 Module.

Now I have 2 questions:
Is it necessary to use a dataSocket for each channel or can I somehow read / Write the entire 16 or 32 Channels with one connection? Speed isn't important.

The other question is how (syntax?) can I write Commands to a Module (PG-522)
