Request the ability to specify port in TCP Comm Control
« on: August 04, 2013, 11:16:18 PM »
I have a need to access via the Ethernet TCP drive a PLC on a port other than the fixed port 0xAF12 that is hard coded in the Data Link Layer.  I respectfully request the ability to specify the port value in the comm control properties or via a set property method.  Thank you!

This feature has been added to the EthernetIPforCLXCom driver and will show up in the next release.

Archie,

Thank you so much for following up and providing us with the ability to specify the TCP Port in the EthernetIPforCLXCom driver.

Unfortunately, and it's completely my fault, I was not specific as to which Ethernet comm driver I was using.  And even when you were very specific in your response as to which driver you would update, I missed it anyway. 

So, if it is agreeable to you, would you mind please adding the ability to specify the TCP port in the EthernetIPforPLCSLCMicroCom driver?

Thank you again for all that you do with this great project.

I noticed the port property field for the  EthernetIPforPLCSLCMicroCom control in version 3.5.7 !!

Thank you so much for putting that in!

Let me know if that works. I put it in, but had no way to test it.

Is sure will.  It'll be a few days, but I definitely will test and let you  know.  Thanks again.
