SeeTec network I/O
SeeTec can provide network I/O, e.g. to trigger a hardware function over the network.
General
- Activate or disable the module.
- If necessary, alter the name.
- 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.Example

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.
- If necessary, change DeviceManager server (see Installation of a Device Manager).
Inputs
- Click the Add new input or Add 10 new inputs button to create one or ten new inputs.
- Activate the desired input and change the name.
- Select the network protocol for the input. The following protocols are available:
- TCP for connections within the network
- HTTP for connections over the Internet.
- Enter the IP address and the port number with which the output is to establish a connection.
- Specify the interval for the dead time (in seconds) after which
a signal is analyzed again.
- If the HTTP protocol is selected, enter the user name and password for accessing the hardware.
- 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.
- 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.
- To delete inputs, select the inputs you want to delete, and then click the Delete inputs marked for deletion button.
Outputs
- Click the Add new output or Add 10 new outputs
button to create one or ten new outputs.
- Activate the desired ouput and change the Name.
- Select the network protocol for the output. The following protocols are available:
- TCP for connections within the network
- HTTP for connections over the Internet.
- 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.
- If the HTTP protocol is selected, enter the User name and Password for accessing the hardware.
- 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.
- Enter the Text to be displayed as soon as the hardware is accessed.
- To delete outputs, select the outputs you want to delete, and then click the Delete outputs marked for deletion button.
