Note: 1. Open method: When "Active" is selected, re-open is performed every 5 to 10 seconds.
2. The number noted above is indicated in decimal number. For the hexadecimal numbers,
"H" is added after the number.
Reference: For details on each setting, refer to Chapter 6 "Open Processing and Close
Processing"
10-8
For the current connection settings, "Valid" or "Invalid" can be
selected. When "Invalid" is selected, the open processing is not
performed in the connection.
Specify whether "TCP/IP" is used or "UDP/IP" is used for the
currently-set communication method.
This is valid only when "TCP/IP" is specified for the
communication method.
Select one method among the followings;
"Active," "Fullpassive," or "Unpassive."
When using computer link or data transfer, select "MEWTOCOL
communication."
When using transparent communication, select "Transparent
communication."
Specify any port number other than "0".
(A value of 8000 (1F40H) or higher is recommended.)
<When using TCP Fullpassive and Active open>
Specify an IP address for the destination node that is in the
same class, and is other than 0.0.0.0 or 255.255.255.255.
<When using UDP>
Specify an IP address for the destination node that is in the
same class, and is other than 0.0.0.0.
<When using TCP Unpassive>
No address needs to be specified.
Specify any port number other than 0.
(A value of 8000 (1F40H) or higher is recommended.)
<When using TCP Unpassive>
No address needs to be specified.
Specify the station number of the destination node
when MEWTOCOL communication is performed.
▪ Setting range: 1 to 64
▪ Avoid duplicating the number of another station on the
network.
▪ This is ignored when MEWTOCOL communication is not used.
Specify this address if the destination node has no ARP
functions under the condition that TCP Active open is used.
When no communication is performed by the partner within the
time specified here, the connection is closed.
When the set value is "0," the connection is not closed.
Specify the number of times that re-open is to be conducted.
After the specified times are satisfied, an error is issued. A
connector in which the error is issued cannot be used.
Users can select the number of re-open times from among 0 to
254 or infinite number of times.
When the set value is "0," re-open is not performed.
When the set value is 255 or higher, re-open is performed
infinitely.
