TCP Communication Driver sample help

This section describes the technical specifications and configuration options for the TCP Communication Driver.

Important: TCP Communication Driver is a sample Communication Driver not meant for production or can not be used directly.

The TCP Communication Driver implements a single hierarchy type that communicates to the PLCPanel using the TCP protocol. This server uses the DAS Toolkit library TCPIPEngine.lib. This server demonstrates the implementation for a simple protocol. Adapter and device hierarchies such as Discrete Input (DI), Discrete Output (DO), Analog Input (AI), and Analog Output (AO) can be configured using the OI Server Manager.

The TCPServer sample solution can be found in Program Files (x86) > Wonderware > OI-Server > OI-SDK > SamplesAndVideos > TCPServer-Server.

To install the sample server in the OI Server Manager, follow the steps mentioned in Develop a Communication Driver.
