how to communicate between matlab applications?

how to communicate between matlab applications?

how to communicate between matlab applications?

(OP)
Hi,
I have made a script in MatLab in order to communicate whith a controller of an Injection Molding Machine, by RS232. Now I need to use this script to communicate with another application in a Intranet network, to control the machine from a distant point.
To do this I would like to use two MatLab applications, but maybe that would not be possible.
My question is if you have any idea that can help me.

Thanks,
Joao

RE: how to communicate between matlab applications?

YOu must first determine of the poor QOS (Quality Of Service) you wil get by using an IP protocol is adequate for your application.  RS232 probably gave you instant access.  If you are sure you QOS and delay is OK, you could use the MATLAB COM services.  You would then have a non-MALTAB problem (so see a different forum) to work out your COM to application interface.

Hi,
The communication with this machine, despite of being bidirectional, was a "question-answer" type, with no flux control, so the delay was not really a problem.
Anyway, I solved this problem using the components MSComm and WinSock in Visual Basic.

Thanks for your help,
Joao
