Set IOChannel
connection-method
The connection-method is one of the following:
z Client-Initiated—When specified, the channel/serial signal pin will wait for
connections to be initiated by another I/O channel or a TCP/IP application.
z Server-Initiated—When specified, the channel/serial signal pin initiates
communication to another I/O channel or a TCP/IP application.
z Local-Connection—When specified, the input or output, depending on how the
channel or serial signal pin is configured, will be associated with another local
IOLAN I/O channel or serial signal pin.
When the channel is configured as digital input or when configuring an input serial
signal pin, the
Output Channels parameter displays all the local digital output
signals or relays that it is associated with.
When the channel is configured as digital output, you must select a local digital
input channel or input serial signal pin on the IOLAN.
Note that the
Failsafe Action is not compatible with the local-connection option.
Default: Client-Initiated
client-initiated tcp-port
The TCP port that the channel/serial signal pin will use to listen for incoming
connections.
Default: 2000 for channel 1, then increments by one for each channel
client-initiated multihost
When this option is enabled, multiple I/O channels and/or TCP/IP applications can
connect to this channel/serial signal pin. The default is off.
server-initiated tcp-port
The TCP Port that the channel/serial signal pin will use to communicate to another
IOLAN or a TCP/IP application.
Default: 2000 for channel 1, then increments by one for each channel
server-initiated multihost all|backup <config_backup_host> <tcp_port>|none
Used for connections going from the Digital input channel or input serial signal pins,
allows the input channel/serial signal pin to communicate to either all the hosts in the
multihost list or a primary/backup host schema (see Configuring Multiple Hosts in the
IOLAN User’s Guide for a more detailed explanation).
local-connection <input_channel>
Specify the Digital input channel or input serial signal pin that will control the
Digital/Relay output channel or output serial signal pin.
