This is a function for closing the flange serial transfer port in the robot controller. This command is not available in the new flange version (v2).

Definition
DRFLEx.h within class CDRFLEx, public section (line 877)

bool flange_serial_close(int nPort)
{
    return _flange_serial_close(_rbtCtrl, nPort);
};

Parameter

Parameter Name	Data Type	Default Value	Description
nPort	int		Serial port index 0: x1 1: x2

Return

Value	Description
0	Error — failed to close serial port.
1	Success — serial port successfully closed.

Example

Drfl.flange_serial_open(115200, 0);
Drfl.flange_serial_write(0, "test123");

LPFLANGE_SER_RXD_INFO temp = Drfl.flange_serial_read(4, 5);
cout << "Serial read : " << temp->_pRxd << endl;
cout << "Serial cnt  : " << (int)temp->_iSize << endl;

Drfl.flange_serial_close(0);

This example first opens the flange serial port, sends test data, reads incoming data using flange_serial_read(), and finally closes the connection using flange_serial_close() to safely release the port resource.
