Communication structure
With socket communications, port numbers that identify the communication are used to enable multiple communication
sessions with the external device. These are used for both TCP/IP and UDP/IP.
For send: Specify send source the CC-Link IE TSN Plus module's port number and the send destination external device's port
number.
For receive: Specify the CC-Link IE TSN Plus module's port number, and read the data sent to that port.
(1) Sending UDP data from CC-Link IE TSN Plus module's port number A to external device 1's port number L
(2) Sending UDP data from external device 1's port number L to the CC-Link IE TSN Plus module's port number A
(3) Sending data with TCP/IP connection
(4) Sending UDP data from CC-Link IE TSN Plus module's port number C to external device 3's port number N
(5) Sending UDP data from external device 3's port number N to CC-Link IE TSN Plus module's port number C
Communications using TCP/IP
TCP/IP protocol establishes a connection between the external device's port number for reliable data exchange.
Check the following items before performing socket communications using TCP/IP.
• IP addresses and port numbers on external device side
• IP addresses and port numbers of CC-Link IE TSN Plus modules
• Which side, the external device side or the CC-Link IE TSN Plus module side, will open a connection (Active open or
Passive open)
■TCP/IP connection operation
TCP/IP connection includes Active open and Passive open.
First, the side with the TCP/IP connection executes Passive open with the specified port number
The side with TCP/IP connection specifies the port number waiting in the Passive open side, and executes Active open.
This enables the TCP/IP connection, the connection is established, and data can be exchanged.
For details on Active open and Passive open, refer to the following.
Page 543 TCP/IP Communications, UDP/IP Communications
The Active open and Passive open expression may differ according to the external device.
• Active open: TCP/IP connection side, client side, connect side, and others
• Passive open: TCP/IP connection wait side, server side, listen side, and others
