Allen-Bradley Driver Tag Type Properties: TCP/IP Tab
The TCP/IP tab of the Allen-Bradley driver tag properties folder can be used to configure the address, port, and time limit to be used if communications are to be made using the TCP/IP communications protocol.

The TCP/IP Address field enables you to specify the port number through which this Allen-Bradley driver tag will communicate.
Note: The TCP/IP Address field and the PLC Address fields are linked, and therefore are completed simultaneously. When you enter an address in the TCP/IP Address field, the same address is automatically entered in the PLC Address field on the Type tab for this tag. Conversely, when you enter an address in the PLC Address field, the same address is automatically entered in the TCP/IP Address field
The TCP/IP Port Number field refers to the port number on the host address through which communications are enabled. This information should be available from your hardware specification.
For example, Modicon TCP/IP drivers commonly use port 502.
The TCP/IP Time Limit field enables you to indicate the amount of time (in seconds or fractions of a second) that the driver will await responses from the PLC.
