This message port receives TCP/IP packets, as messages, from a connected IO Data Source block. The messages process when the Task Manager block triggers task containing the TCP Read block. For more information on messages, see Messages.

Data Types: SoCData

Output TCP/IP packets received from remote host, returned as a numeric vector. The size and data type of this output is same as the size and data type of the input message.

Data Types: single | double | int8 | int16 | int32 | uint8 | uint16 | uint32

Length of output TCP/IP packets returned on the output data port.

Data Types: uint32

To configure this block as a TCP/IP client or server, set this parameter to Client or Server, respectively.

When you set this parameter to Client, you must provide the remote IP address and remote IP port number of the TCP/IP server from which you want to receive TCP/IP packets. Specify this information by using the Remote address and Remote port parameters.

When you set this parameter to Server, you must provide the local IP port number, which acts as the listening port of the TCP/IP server running in the hardware. Specify this information using the Local port parameter. When you set this parameter to Server, you can only connect to one client at a time.

Specify the IP address of remote server from which you want to receive TCP/IP packets.

Dependencies

To enable this parameter, set the Network role parameter to Client.

Specify the port number of the remote server from which you want to receive TCP/IP packets.

Dependencies

To enable this parameter, set the Network role parameter to Client.

Specify the port number of the application on which you want to receive the TCP/IP packets when the Network role is set to Client. The default value -1 assigns any random available port as local port when you set the Network role parameter to Client.

This local port acts as the listening port on the TCP/IP server when the Network role is set to Server. Specify a value from 1 to 65535 when you set Network role parameter to Server. Specify this local port number as the remote port number in the sending host from which you want to receive TCP/IP packets.

Select the data type of the input data. Match this data type with data type of TCP/IP packets sent from the remote host.

Specify the maximum number of data elements that the output data port can produce at every time step.

To generate event-driven code, select this parameter. To generate timer-driven code, clear this parameter.

When Enable event-based execution is selected, the block reads TCP/IP packets from the socket buffer whenever any TCP/IP packet is received in the socket buffer irrespective of the sample time. When Enable event-based execution is cleared, the block reads available TCP/IP packets from the socket buffer at each sample time. To set the size of the TCP/IP packet that the block can read from the socket buffer, specify the size in the Receive buffer size parameter.

Specify how often the scheduler runs this block. If this value is -1 (default), the scheduler assigns the sample time for the block.
