Accessing Bluetooth Sensor from PPC30 controller

Hi there,
general question: is it possible to access a bluetooth sensor using a ppc30 plc by connection a bluetooth usb receiver to the plc?

many thanks!

Hi,
I would guess that is a question of which USB device class you’ll get for the BT adaptor.

See UsbNodeListGet

Afterwards you could refer to the Examples

(currently the Online help to AsUSB seems to be broken, so refer to Automation Studio help, please).

I received new details concerning the sensor we are supposed to access:
It speaks GATT (Generic Attribute Profile - GATT)

Anyone know if its possible to read it using a PPC30?

Many thanks

if the USB counterpart implements a simple UART interface I would say that this is promising.

But just with the PPC30: no, since it has no built-in BLE tranceiver.
