UCON Driver - How to connect to an unsolicited device through Ethernet encapsulation when the device does not initiate the socket connection

How do I get TOP Server to establish and keep the socket connection to my unsolicited device that is utilizing Ethernet encapsulation, but the device does not initiate the socket connection?

  • Create a new Channel.Device using the UCON driver with the following channel properties
    • Serial Communications > Mode = Solicited
      Mode > Unsolicited Mode = No

Note: These settings can be changed only during creation of a new channel. Editing is disabled afterwards

  • In the transaction editor, define a "Read" transaction that:
    • begins with writing a <NUL> character - this will initiate the socket connection
    • follow with a Transmit
    • continue with reading the device response
    • add desired steps to split the response and update the tag(s).
  • Adjust the timing parameters in the Device properties
  • Client application should request that data twice as fast as it changes in the target device, to not miss any updates
