Channels Configuration
No custom settings are required.
On TCP/IP settings, you can optimize communication using the field:
NodeConnections: Defines the maximum number of parallel requests that will be sent to each node (asynchronous communication)
Nodes Configuration
Primary Station
Stations syntax: <IP > ; <Port >
Where :
<IP> = IP address of the slave device in the network
< Port > = TCP port where the slave device is listening (default is 2222)
