Supported device protocols

The ABTCP Communication Driver is designed to provide direct connectivity to the family of Allen Bradley PLC5, SLC500 and PLC5250 controllers.

The ABTCP Communication Driver uses TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) bus-level protocol.

TCP is the lower-level transport and data-link vehicle for data delivery over an IP network. It provides reliable connection-oriented full-duplex data stream transport. IP is the basic protocol for the Internet which uses an IP address scheme to send data in packets across networks.
