Serial Device Driver Configuration

Plugin Configuration

The plugin configuration file is named settings.json located in <install directory>\Config\HumanOS.UHAL.SerialDeviceDriver\. It contains all global settings of the plugin.

See Generic Plugin Configuration for more details.

Figure 1: Configuration model of the plugin

Device Information File

The device information file is used to configure the access to the serial devices. It contains:

• Id: unique device id (GUID), which MUST match the device license id.
• DriverId: 7DCF8CCB-9878-4529-AD21-49F509807FB6"
• Address: Connection address
• Data Access

See Device Information Model for more details.

Connection Address

The serial device driver needs the COM port settings as address. Additionally, further connection parameters must be specified as properties under the device info node:

• COM Port Number
• BaudRate
• ParityMode
• StopBitMode
• Number DataBits
• ...

The Address for serial device driver must be provided like following:

Name	Description	Data Type
Address	Connection string to device, e.g COM7	System.String

Additional connection parameters are specified as property under the device info node:

Name	Description	Data Type
Baudrate	BaudRate of communication	System.Int32
DataBits	Number of data bits	System.Int32
ParityMode	Parity mode (Optional) (None; Odd; Even; Mark; Space)	System.IO.Ports.Parity
StopBitMode	Stop bits (Optional) (None; One; Two; OnPointFive)	System.IO.Ports.StopBits
ReadBufferSize	Size of the reading buffer (Optional)	System.Int32
WriteBufferSize	Size of the writing buffer (Optional)	System.Int32
DtrEnable	Enabling the Dtr-Mode (Optional)	System.Boolean
