Ethernet host communication
The Ethernet host communication enables the configuration of connections to an external
host system. Both UDP as well as TCP/IP (in either client or server mode) can be used. The
connection-free UDP protocol is used primarily to transfer process data to the host (monitor
operation). The connection-oriented TCP/IP protocol can also be used to transfer
commands from the host to the device. With this connection, the data is backed up by the
TCP/IP protocol itself.
If you would like to use the TCP/IP protocol, you must also define whether the MA
to operate as a TCP client or as a TCP server.
Contact your network administrator to determine which communication protocol is used.
