Set IOChannel

connection-method

The connection-method is one of the following:

zClient-Initiated—When specified, the channel/serial signal pin will wait for connections to be initiated by another I/O channel or a TCP/IP application.

zServer-Initiated—When specified, the channel/serial signal pin initiates communication to another I/O channel or a TCP/IP application.

zLocal-Connection—When specified, the input or output, depending on how the channel or serial signal pin is configured, will be associated with another local IOLAN I/O channel or serial signal pin.

When the channel is configured as digital input or when configuring an input serial signal pin, the Output Channels parameter displays all the local digital output signals or relays that it is associated with.

When the channel is configured as digital output, you must select a local digital input channel or input serial signal pin on the IOLAN.

Note that the Failsafe Action is not compatible with the local-connection option. Default: Client-Initiated

client-initiated tcp-port

The TCP port that the channel/serial signal pin will use to listen for incoming connections.

Default: 2000 for channel 1, then increments by one for each channel

client-initiated multihost

When this option is enabled, multiple I/O channels and/or TCP/IP applications can connect to this channel/serial signal pin. The default is off.

server-initiated tcp-port

The TCP Port that the channel/serial signal pin will use to communicate to another IOLAN or a TCP/IP application.

Default: 2000 for channel 1, then increments by one for each channel

server-initiated multihost allbackup <config_backup_host> <tcp_port>none

Used for connections going from the Digital input channel or input serial signal pins, allows the input channel/serial signal pin to communicate to either all the hosts in the multihost list or a primary/backup host schema (see Configuring Multiple Hosts in the IOLAN User’s Guide for a more detailed explanation).

local-connection <input_channel>

Specify the Digital input channel or input serial signal pin that will control the Digital/Relay output channel or output serial signal pin.
