| Item | Description |
|---|---|
| TCP/UDP | Specify a communication protocol. Select TCP or UDP. TCP is available to send and receive data. UDP is available only to send data (controller to external devices). |
| IP Address | Specify server's IP address. |
| Port | Specify server's Port number. |
| Timeout | Specify the time-out period that limits the allowable waiting time of the server response by milliseconds. This should be "infinite waiting" if "-1" is set. |
| DataType | Select Text or Binary. |
| Delimiter | When DataType is Text, specify a delimiter sign which delimits communication text. Choose one from "CR(0x0D)", "CR+LF"(0x0D 0x0A)" or "LF(0x0A)". (LF is available in Ver.1.12.* or higher.) |
| Header | When DataType is Binary, specify a header for communication. Choose "None" or "ENQ"(0x05). |
| Keep-Alive Time | Specify the time to periodically send a signal to check the connection to the communication device. This should be the system specified value if "-1" is set. (Ver.1.12.* or higher.) |
You can use multiple Ethernet IP address by adding a LAN adopter listed in "RECOMMENDED BOARD LIST".
Note that communication may fail if IP addresses in the same network are used.
- Incorrect IP address assignment
LAN1：192.168.0.1
LAN2：192.168.0.2 - Revised IP address assignment
LAN1：192.168.0.1
LAN2：192.168.1.2
When "Server" is Selected
In the Server-line, there is no settings for server's IP address and port.
