The Host Comms Protocol (HCP) is a simple ASCII protocol that provides communication between a Mint controller and an external device such as an HMI panel or PLC.
Each controller has an area of memory, 99 elements in length, called the comms array. Data can be written to the comms array from an external source, and read within the Mint program. Alternatively, Mint can write data to the comms array and this can be read from an external source.
The Host Comms Protocol is supported on the serial port as a simple ASCII protocol.
