Remote Host List

This chapter describes how to configure a list of network devices (remote hosts) in the network to which the SmartAXIS
communicates.
Applications
When the SmartAXIS accesses and communicates with other network devices in the network, the remote host device should be
specified. The remote host list is required to use the following functions:
ETXD/ERXD Instructions (User communication over Ethernet)
•
Modbus TCP Client
•
Remote I/O Master
•
Description of Functions
The remote host consists of an IP Address or a Host Name and a Port Number.
When a remote host is specified with an IP address, and the SmartAXIS establishes connection with the remote host that has the
specified IP address and the corresponding port number, then communication is started.
When a remote host is specified with a host name, the SmartAXIS tries to obtain the IP address from the specified host name
using the DNS server. If the IP address is successfully obtained, the SmartAXIS establishes connection with the remote host that
has the specified IP address and the corresponding port number, then communication is started.
For details about DNS server settings, see Network Settings in the Function Area Settings.
