Preconfiguration "PmSMS - send and receive SMS from the application"

Communication driver configuration PmSMS - Driver for communication with GSM modules by SMS messages.

This preconfiguration can be activated when creating a new object (e.g. by "New object ..." in the local object menu or by pressing the Insert key after selecting the object) and is included in the group: "/ Communication / Protocols and other communications / SMS".
This preconfiguration can be created in the object: PmaFolder or PmaRoot.

- The preconfiguration creates an object of the PmaFolder type containing PmaComm object with PmaCommMsg subobjects and following objects: PmaPanel, PmaData and PmaTimer.
- The preconfiguration is created including the panel (object of the PmaPanel type) is functional also as Web panel.


The preconfiguration allows to choose two types of connection with the computer:
- via the computer's serial port
- via Ethernet

The created preconfigured connection is functional usually immediately. Otherwise it is necessary to obtain the connection parameters specified by the device manufacturer or see also PmSMS - Driver for communication with GSM modules by SMS messages..
These configurators can be set before the preconfiguration is created:
The name of created objectName of the object created in the Pma objects tree. The maximum name length is 30 characters. This is a system name, so it must contain only alphanumeric and must not contain any diacritics (i.e. national dependent characters), empty string, spaces and the first character must not be a number.
Default: "Sms"
Communication type
Network TCP/IP communication (default)
Serial communication
Network addressNetwork address of the remote device (e.g. of the PLC device), to which the communication will be connected.
The address can be entered as:
- IPv4 full address (e.g. "192.168.0.15")
- IPv4 address of this computer (i.e. "127.0.0.1")
- IPv4 computer name (e.g. "server11")
- IPv4 name of this computer (i.e. "localhost")
- IPv6 full address (e.g. "2a02:c38:8136:800a:37a:ab66:6fc9:accd")
- IPv6 address of this computer (i.e. "::1")

Macro expression can be used for input (it is evaluated after the application is launched).
After the preconfiguration is created, the "PmaComm > Setting the parameters of the Ethernet-client > Network address" configurator will be set to this value.
TCP/UDP remote port numberEthernet remote port number for communication.
Serial portSelection of the communication serial port.
The value can be change by the OpenPort method.
The value can be detected by method GetProtParam("SerPort").
After the preconfiguration is created, the "PmaComm > Setting the parameters of the serial link > Serial port" configurator will be set to this value.
Not set - The object is not connected to any port after the application is launched and the serial port can be selected dynamically by the algorithm (by the PmaComm.OpenPort method).
COM1, COM2,..,COM66 - The specified serial port is opened after the application is launched. This port must be correctly configured and accessible in Windows OS (no one can use it).
For serial link each PmaComm object must have defined another communication port. For example, if one PmaComm object communicates through COM1, then next PmaComm object can communicate for example through COM2 (COM3, ...) but it mustn't communicate through COM1.
Baud rateSelection of the baud rate (bps, bit per second).
This configurator sets the initial value of the BaudRate property.
After the preconfiguration is created, the "PmaComm > Setting the parameters of the serial link > Baud rate" configurator will be set to this value.

PIN codeThe PIN code (Personal Identification Number) of the SIM card (if the PIN authentication is not active, then set the configurator as empty). The configurator value will be written in the PmaData object (Params) on the "Data" tab into the variable Pin.
SCA number of the mobile operatorThe SCA number (Service center address) of the mobile operator used for mobile network login. For example for the United Kingdom: +447958879879 for T-Mobile UK +447785016005 for Vodafone UK. The configurator value will be written in the PmaData object (Params) on the "Data" tab into the variable Sca.
