Transmit Data to pmu connection tester through networking

Your array of bytes should be in whatever form your computer uses to store bytes. Please don’t load text data directly into your byte array. C# has many utilities that should make it fairly simple to read your file and convert your hexadecimal text data to a collection of byte arrays, and it has plenty of documentation that can be reached with a quick Google search.

Read a file line by line:

Use String.Substring() to remove the old checksum:

Convert a hex string to a byte array:

Hopefully those links can give you some ideas.

Sir,
I have constructed a code by using your given references but i can’t get output screen that show me calculated crc. This is my program :

Please help me and correct my program?
Thanks,

Sir,
Please correct my code so that i can get crc bytes and then append to my frames?

Here is a list of things you still need to do in order to see the calculated CRC.

  • Use Substring() to remove the old CRC from the end of the line.
  • Call StrToByteArray() so you can use the byte array in the CrcCCITT object.
  • Instantiate an object of type CrcCCITT and call the Update() method to pass in your byte array.
  • Get the result of the CRC via the Value property and write it out to the console, preferably in hex.

sir,
My hex data in text file has no crc at the end of line.
My data in hex file upto rocof bytes.
This program looks complex so can you modify my program that i have send you earlier?

No, I can’t. In this case, I can provide guidance, but not labor.

Sir,
I want to export my output streams via network to another computer. I am initializing from one machine but i can’t get stream on second machine’s pmu connection tester.
In previous comments, Ritchie sir suggests me following changes as shown in picure

I have tested both wired and wireless network but same error occurs as i discussed in previous comment.


I have also tested with different port numbers. I am receiving stream on first machine but cannot get on second machine.
What can i do now to achieve my task?

Try the following:

  • Double-check the firewall settings on the first machine. If you made the firewall change on the second machine but not the first machine, it will not work.
  • Initialize the output stream on the first machine.
  • Double-check that the IP address in the PMU Connection Tester matches the IP address of the first machine. If you are connecting to another machine, it will not work.
  • Double-check that the port in the PMU Connection Tester matches the port of the output stream that was set before the last time you initialized the output stream. If you are connecting to a port that the openPDC is not listening on, it will not work.

Sir,
I have changed firewall settings on first as well as second machine. Above picture of firewall is of first machine.
I have inserted IP address of first machine into pmu connection tester of second machine. Above picture of pmu connection tester is of second machine in which IP address of first machine is inserted i.e 192.168.1.21
I have checked the port number. In above picture of pmu connection tester port number is 4712 and i have set 4712 as port number of output stream in first machine.

Did you initialize the output stream?

Yes sir i have initialized every time

In the PMU Connection Tester, try changing the ForceIPv4 setting. Then connect again and see if anything changes.

Sir, it works stream is receiving by second machine

Sir,
My byte array is saved in variable ‘a’.
Can you guide me about update() method ?

Here’s some sample code to use the CrcCCITT class.

// Initialize the byte array
byte[] bytes = ...;

// Create the CRC calculator
CrcCCITT calc = new CrcCCITT();

// Send bytes into the CRC calculator
calc.Update(bytes);

// Get the CRC value from the calculator
ushort crc = calc.Value;

Sir,
I have written this :
byte[] bytes = a;
CrcCCITT calc = new CrcCCITT();
calc.Update(bytes);
ushort crc = calc.Value;


These error occurs in calc.Update(bytes) line

Put the code inside your while loop, which is in the Main() method.

Sir,
Code is running.
But ans is in decimal form.

how can i convert it in hex form?

Sir,
how can i copy crc bytes from console as i have to append them in my text file or there is any code to append?
