SeeTec network I/O

SeeTec can provide network I/O, e.g. to trigger a hardware function over the network.

General
  1. Activate or disable the module.
  2. If necessary, alter the name.
  3. If necessary, enter the valid IP addresses or IP address ranges to create a mask within which input operations are to be run. This is optional. You can specify any number of masks separated by commas (no spaces). The placeholders * and - can be used in a mask. If no mask is assigned, every incoming connection is accepted.ExampleClosed
    10.0.8.9-23,10.0.8.7,192.*.*.*
    Three restrictive masks have been defined:
    Mask 10.0.8.9-23 allows all IP addresses in the range 10.0.8.9 to 10.0.8.23. Mask 10.0.8.7 allows the individual IP address.
    Mask 192.*.*.* allows the complete subnet 192.
  4. If necessary, change DeviceManager server (see Installation of a Device Manager).
Inputs
  1. Click the Add new input or Add 10 new inputs button to create one or ten new inputs.
  2. Activate the desired input and change the name.
  3. Select the network protocol for the input. The following protocols are available:
  4. Enter the IP address and the port number with which the output is to establish a connection.
  5. Specify the interval for the dead time (in seconds) after which a signal is analyzed again.
  6. If the HTTP protocol is selected, enter the user name and password for accessing the hardware.
  7. Select the type of password encryption. If ASCII is selected, only upper- and lower-case letters and numbers can be used, not special characters. With HEX, all characters are permissible.
  8. Enter the text to be displayed as soon as the hardware is accessed, and (optionally) specify the control character encoding for the correct display of paragraph changes, for example.
  9. To delete inputs, select the inputs you want to delete, and then click the Delete inputs marked for deletion button.
Outputs
  1. Click the Add new output or Add 10 new outputs button to create one or ten new outputs.
  2. Activate the desired ouput and change the Name.
  3. Select the network protocol for the output. The following protocols are available:
  4. Enter the IP address and the port number with which the output is to establish a connection. You can assign the same IP address to multiple outputs.
  5. If  the HTTP protocol is selected, enter the User name and Password for accessing the hardware.
  6. Select the Type of password encryption. If ASCII is selected, only upper- and lower-case letters and numbers can be used, not special characters. With HEX, all characters are permissible.
  7. Enter the Text to be displayed as soon as the hardware is accessed.
  8. To delete outputs, select the outputs you want to delete, and then click the Delete outputs marked for deletion button.
