UDP Functionality

Overview

The UDP tab configures the I/O UDP broadcast settings. The I/O UDP broadcast feature periodically broadcasts the I/O channel status in a UDP message.

You can configure up to four sets of IP address entries (each entry consisting of a start and end IP address range) to broadcast I/O status data. The data depends on the I/O model (Analog, Digital, Serial Signals) and contains information for all channels.

Field Descriptions

Configure the following parameters:

Enable UDP

Enables/disables UDP broadcast of I/O channel status (data).

Broadcast of I/O

Default: Disabled

Status

 

Broadcast Interval Enter the interval, in seconds, for UDP broadcasts of I/O channel status (data).

Range: 1-9999

Default: 30 seconds

Settings Button Click this button to configure the UDP IP addresses that will receive the I/O status information.

See I/O UDP Settings on page 134 for field descriptions for the I/O UDP Settings window.
