Hi,
To read data from a weight bridge, I need to send / receive a text from NAV to an external IP addres + Port.
In the past, you could use the Nav communication component, but I think it does no longer exist.
Any tips to do this easily in NAV 2016
Thanks,
Regards,
Steven

Hi Steven,
Please share the .net assembly. It would inspire me to try something similar for NAV 18. Planning to Trigger Weigh Machine and get the response which will be stored in SO. Any advice?
hi,
in that case, as ahmed suggests, the only way is to use .net classes. you could try to develope a codeunit using according .net classes like TcpClient or develope a little .net assembly for that issue.

Hello Steven
You need to create a .net assembly that will do the TCP/IP communication.
You could try and do it in NAV using socket dotnet datatype but they are event based and have to maintain connection etc. As well as you have to handle the packets being received partially from the socket.
I have had in past do a socket integration with credit card pin pad, and created a dotnet assembly in csharp was the easiest solution.
Hi,
Thanks already for the answers.
The only way to read data from the weight bridge is by sending a text to a tcp port and then it sends the weight back.
I do not really see how I can do that with web services?
Could you be more specific please?
Thanks,

Steven
I would recommend to use SOAP web service for that purpose. Check msdn.microsoft.com/.../dd355398(v=nav.90).aspx
