TCP programming guide

The host computer communicates with the EYE+ XTD Controller through TCP/IP protocols. The EYE+ XTD Controller acts as a server and the host communicates as a client. The server does not send constantly data to the client, it only responds to its requests.

The default TCP/IP configuration to enable communication between EYE+ XTD and your robot/PLC is presented in General Ethernet Settings.

The available ports for the TCP/IP communication are 7171, 171 and 17171.

Note

Make sure to have properly connected your robot/PLC to EYE+ XTD. Refer to section TCP/IP communication with robot/PLC.

Note

EYE+ XTD Controller listens to the three ports simultaneously, we recommend to choose 7171, however depending on your requirements you might choose another one from the list.
