This section discusses the following:
• 3.5.1. Device TCP Connection Configuration
• 3.5.2. Socket Packet ID Settings on Page 44
3.5.1. Device TCP Connection Configuration
Access to the Edit Socket Port Configuration page is provided by selecting the corresponding socket number
on the Ethernet Device Configuration page (for example, Socket 1).
The remainder of this subsection discusses
the Device TCP Connection Configuration
area on this page.
The other areas of this page are discussed in
the following subsections, which are located
under the 3.6. Common Configuration Areas
(Serial or Ethernet Device) section:
• 3.6.1. Serial Modbus Master and
Modbus/TCP Settings
on Page 47
• 3.6.3. Filtering/Data Extraction
Configuration
on Page 51
• 3.6.4. Application TCP Connection
Configuration
on Page 54
• 3.6.5. Saving Port Options on Page 56
The following table provides information
about configuring the Device TCP Connection Configuration area.
Device TCP Connection Configuration
Ethernet Interface
Name
A user definable string used to describe the serial interface. Valid characters
include a-z, A-Z, 0-9, underscores, spaces and dashes. All other characters will be
discarded. Up to 80 character ASCII string. The default is blank.
Enable
This setting enables/disables the Device Ethernet Device. Enabling this function
allows an Ethernet TCP/IP device to be connected to a PLC and/or application. If
both the PLC and application are connected to the device, both can transmit to and
receive data from the device socket port. However, the PLC and application cannot
communicate directly to each other.
