3.12 - Multicast Pipe Manager
Previously it has been difficult to connect a single TCP device, i.e. a
Scada / DCS system to multiple remote multicast serial devices.
Multicast Pipe allows this type of connection.
Example:
An example would be a Scada system that needs to communicate
with multiple remote serial devices. A modem can be placed at each
remote location and connected serially to each device. A multicast
pipe is configured to communicate with all devices using a multicast
address and port, i.e. 224.0.1.1:5000.
The Scada then communicates with the remotes using TCP via the
IP address of the Multicast Manager and the port selected in the
configuration, i.e. 5001.
Multicast Pipe Manager
Enabled Enables or disables the Multicast Pipe manager.
Server Port Server port used by the Multicast Pipe Manager. Will need to be
configured the same as the Port on the Client, i.e. Scada, DCS, etc
Multicast Group IP
Address Broadcast Address used when communicating to all other Multicast
devices. This address will need to be the same on all communicating
Multicast devices.
Multicast Group Port Multicast Port used when communicating to all other Multicast devices.
Will need to be the same on all communicating Multicast devices.
