Delphi Xe5 Serial Communication Rs232 Tutorial. YModem & ZModem protocols. Codeless terminal component with extendable emulation interface. Component for. The nrComm Lib is set of Delphi VCL components, classes and routines for serial communication tasks. I need to know how to make a Delphi serial communications component or get hold of one that has already been made. I also need to know how to input/output serially through Turbo Pascal 7.0.

ZylSerialPort 1.77
Delphi & C++Builder Component

ZylSerialPort is a Delphi & C++Builder thread based serial port component.
Use ZylSerialPort component to easily communicate with external devices on serial port connection, such as modems, bar code readers, GSM modules and others. It works in synchronous and asynchronous mode.

You can use it also with USB, IrDA and Bluetooth devices, because these devices have a driver that redirects the input from the USB, IrDA or Bluetooth port to a virtual serial port (you can check it in System/Device Manager/Ports). If your USB device is not provided with such a driver, then use a USB controller whose vendor provides a virtual serial port driver, such as FTDI or use a USB/RS-232 adapter.

The demo version is fully functional in Delphi and C++Builder IDE, but it displays a nag dialog (the licensed version will, of course, not have a nag dialog and will not be limited to the IDE). The package includes demo programs for Delphi and C++Builder and a help file with the description of the component.

- Delphi for .NET support was abandoned. You can use our .NET components instead, which are written in C#.
Installation:
If you have a previous version of the component installed, you must remove it completely before installing this version. To remove a previous installation, proceed as follows:
-Start the IDE, open the packages page by selecting Component - Install Packages
-Select ZylSerialPortPack package in the list and click the Remove button
-Open Tools - Environment Options - Library and remove the library path pointing to ZylSerialPort folder
-Close the IDE
-Browse to the folder where your bpl and dcp files are located (default is $(DELPHI)ProjectsBpl for Delphi, $(BCB)ProjectsBpl for C++ Builder). -Delete all of the files related to ZylSerialPort
-Delete or rename the top folder where ZylSerialPort is installed
-Start regedit (click Start - Run, type 'regedit.exe' and hit Enter). Open the key HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareBorland<compiler><version>Palette and delete all name/value items in the list related to ZylSerialPort. (<compiler> is either 'Delphi' or 'C++Builder', <version> is the IDE version you have installed)

-Unzip the zip file and open the ZylSerialPortPack.dpk file in Delphi (ZylSerialPortPack.bpk or ZylSerialPortPack.cbproj file in C++Builder), compile and install it
and add to Tools/Environment Options/Library (in older Delphi/C++Builder menu) or Tools/Options/[Language]/Delphi Options/Library/Library Path (in newer Delphi menu) or Tools/Options/[Language]/C++ Options/Paths and Directories/Library Path & Include Path (in newer C++Builder menu, in C++Builder 10 or later, set them also for the classic compiler) the path of the installation (where the ZylSerialPort.dcu file is located). The component will be added to the 'Zyl Soft' tab of the component palette. After you have the component on your component palette, you can drag and drop it to any form, where you can set its properties by the Object Inspector and you can write event handlers selecting the Events tab of the Object Inspector and double clicking the preferred event.
If you still have problems in C++Builder, running an application, which contains the component, then open the project and in C++Builder menu, Project/Options/Packages and uncheck 'Build with runtime packages'.
C++BuilderXE2: If you get access violation, running an application with this component, then comment out in the project's main form's cpp file the following: //#pragma link 'ZylSerialPort'.
-another possible problem with C++Builder: Go to Project options, C++ Linker, and uncheck Link with dynamic RTL.

Delphi Serial Communication Components

-It is indicated to use this component with 'Stop on Delphi exception' option deactivated. You can do this from Delphi / C++Builder menu, Tools/Debugger Options/Language Exceptions/Stop on Delphi exceptions in older versions or Tools/Options/Debugger Options/Embarcadero Debuggers/Language Exceptions/Notify on language exceptions in newer versions, otherwise you will have a break at all the handled exceptions.

64-bit platform:
Delphi/C++Builder 64-bit support is only for runtime, so you have to use it in the folllwing way:
Install the 32-bit version of the component as it described above and add to Tools/Options/Delphi Options/Library/Library Path, selected platform: 64-bit Windows the path of the Win64 subfolder of the component.
Before compiling the host application for 64-bit Windows, right click on Target Platforms, Add Platform and add 64-bit Windows (Make the selected platform active). If you compile the application in this way, it will be a native 64-bit application.

CPort is a Delphi component created by Dejan Crnila. it provide interfaces for Delphi programmers to use the serial communication ports. If you need to utilize serial modem or any other serial communication devices in your Delphi application, you should use this component.

It’s obviously doesn’t take much to install and use a modem however this will depend on the purpose. However like anything you can understand how it works then it can help when developing code which needs to interface with the device.

Although a modem is often just thought of as a method for connecting to the internet, there is much more to the device and it’s applications, A modem actually converts digital to analog and the opposite way to. Remember all telephone main lines are mostly digital however the lines to most US houses are usually analog. This means that it they are designed to transmit, a voltage wave which is an exact replica of the sound wave coming from human speech. This voltage wave is called an analog wave.

The serial post or UART serial port as it’s correctly known is an input/output device. Why is this important? Well because the modem has a serial port communicating between them and the computer, your code will need to traverse this connection in order to make it work.

Dealing with serial devices is in some ways m,ore complicated than standard network programming. Being able to send commands however to such a device vastly increases the potential of your code to facilitate communication between different devices. So for example it can be especially useful in the modern world of relaying proxy servers and IP addresses through different devices. Take for instance the use of a residential IP provider who needs to use normal home IP addresses to create a pool of IP addresses.

The AT-CMD Tester and many Delphi applications that need an access to the serial ports use this component as the interface to it. One of them is the miniSMS – a program to read SMS on a cellphone message inbox via PC serial port.
It’s a little bit complex for me when I use this component for the first time since I don’t know much about serial communication programming. But when I get used to it, I can see that It’s a good one.

Installing CPort Delphi Component
Remove all previously installed files of ComPort Library (TComPort component).
Extract Sources zip file into Delphi Lib folder.

Use “File/Open” menu item in Delphi IDE to open ComPort run-time package source file (Delphi6: CPortLib6.dpk; Delphi7: CPortLib7.dpk).
Click “Compile” button in Package window to compile the library.
Now you have to install design-time package. Use File/Open menu item to open design-time package source file (Delphi6: DsgnCPort6.dpk; Delphi7: DsgnCPort7.dpk). Click “Compile” button in Package window to compile the package.

Click “Install” button to register ComPort into the IDE. ComPort components appear in “CPortLib” page of component pallete.

If you are new to CPort, you can click here to get an example and a brief explanation about using CPort component to read data from your cellular phone.
