Hey Everyone,

I bought a relay controller from www.controlanything.com, with a DIGI ethernet module used to convert IP to serial commands....to activate the relays on the board you should send 3 bytes string ,for ex: 245 108 1 ,this command will trigger the first relay in the first bank, when i tried to send the command from a TCP/IP software used to send data packets it works perfectly all what you have to do is to set the IP address and the port of the controller , normally it accept HEX and decimal data format, the i tried to send it from AMX NI 2100 processor :send_string pdvrelay, "$02,'245 108 1',$03" and alot for unsucceded format tries ,can somebody help me and suggest a solution ,it will be really appreciated because this Relay module cost me 700$ !!!!!!!
Thanks Guys,

    Thanks Guys,
    Your example is HEX and ascii. Maybe you could try "$02,245,108,1,$03" instead of "$02,'245 108 1',$03"

    Are you opening the socket in code and ensuring you're "online" before sending your string.
