(Click title to expand text)
The TCP/IP Name/Address field provides a space for you to identify the name or IP address of the server to which to connect (for example, MyRTU.com, or 198.255.32.1).
Use the Connect Time Limit field to indicate the number of seconds that the system should wait for a connection response from the server that is specified in the TCP/IP Name/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 Disconnect Delay field enables you to specify in seconds or fractions of a second, the amount of idle time that should pass before the connection to the server is terminated.
