oModbus TCP Server

oModbus TCP Client

Ethernet Protocol

The controller supports the following protocols:

oIP (Internet Protocol)

oTCP (Transmission Control Protocol)

oARP (Address Resolution Protocol)

TCP Server Connection

The maximum number of TCP connection:

o4 Modbus servers

o3 Modbus servers and 1 client

Each server based on TCP manages its own pool of connections.

When a client tries to open a connection that exceeds the poll size, the controller closes the oldest connection.

If all connections are busy (exchange in progress) when a client tries to open a new one, the new connection is denied.

All server connections stay open as long as the controller stays in operational states (RUN, STOP, HALT).

All server connections are closed when leaving or entering operational states (RUN, STOP, HALT), except in case of power outage (because the controller did not have time to close the connections).
