Communication with Other Devices
If the tag is an array or a class (or both), the project automatically enables every array position and class
member for TCP/IP communication by default.
To configure a specific array position and/or a specific class member, type the array position and/or class
member in square brackets following the tag name. For example,level[3].member.
• Remote Tag field (optional): Type the name of a tag to be linked with the tag you specified in the Tag Name field.
If you leave this field blank, the project uses the same tag name used in the client and in the server.
Note: If you need to share an array, the tag in the server should contain the same number of
elements as the tag in the client. If the tag is a class, the class definition should be the same in both
server and client programs. If you do not follow these rules, unpredictable results can occur.
You can run the TCP/IP Client task automatically on start up or run the program manually by clicking Tasks
(either local or remote) on the Home tab of the ribbon. After running this program, a small icon displays in
your system tray.
Only the Client task uses the ConnectionRetryTimeout parameter.
