Ethernet TCP/IP socket interface

Each Ethernet interface module supports a total number of four TCP/IP socket
interfaces. This allows up to four different applications to communicate with the
Ethernet interface module at the same time over Ethernet TCP/IP.
Do not use the same output data set number for two different
programmable controller connections or TCP/IP sockets!
The output data set can be written to the Ethernet interface modules in parallel
by all communication interfaces or TCP/IP sockets, if they use the same output
data set number. In that case the last message overrides data received earlier.
The Ethernet interface module processes the data of a MELSEC-WS safety
controller and makes it available in different compilations, the data sets. These data
sets are available over the TCP/IP interface. For a detailed description of the data
sets please refer to Chapter 4.
In order to configure the Ethernet TCP/IP socket interface, perform the following
steps:
 Open the Setting and Monitoring Tool and load the hardware configuration
including the Ethernet interface module.
 Click on the GETH Network module [13] button (Network Modules button
when two network modules are used) above the main window and select the
desired network module or double click on the desired network module in the
hardware configuration view to open the network module configuration dialog.
 Click on TCP/IP configuration on the left hand menu. The following dialog
appears:
