HDC-UHD Series Command Guide 2.2.4 The number of TCP-IP connections The HDC supports up to eight simultaneous TCP-IP connections (eight logical ports). To maintain optimal system accessibility, it is advisable to issue “port-open” and “port-close” commands before and after command or query strings are issued. This approach enables eight or more control devices to be effectively interfaced simultaneously and without concern for communication errors.
HDC-UHD Series Command Guide 2.3 Unsolicited status notification The HDC can notify status changes and problems in a system through RS-232C or LAN communication. Unsolicited status notification: (1) The unsolicited status notification feature is enabled using @SPH command. (2) The control device periodically sends @GIV command (30 seconds or shorter) to keep the connection.
