The parameter below "Partner stations"
The parameter "TCP connection monitoring time" occurs again with the individual
partners in the parameter group "Connection to partner". This parameter applies only
to the individual partner. The value of 180 seconds preset on the Ethernet interface is
adopted for the individual partners.
If for any reason you want to change the value of the TCP connection monitoring time
for individual partners, you can adapt the value for every partner individually in
"Partner stations". If. for example, you want to check the connection at shorter
intervals, reduce the value.
●
TCP keepalive monitoring time
Only for DNP3
If the value configured here differs from the value configured in the Ethernet interface
parameter group, the monitoring time of the "Partner stations" parameter group is used.
After sending a keepalive frame, the CP expects a reply from the communications partner
within the keepalive monitoring time. If the CP does not receive a reply within the
configured time, it terminates the connection.
Default setting: 10 s. Permitted range: 1...65535 s.
–
The parameter below the Ethernet interface
The monitoring time is configured for the Ethernet interface as a global setting for all
TCP connections.
–
The parameter below "Partner stations"
As with the TCP connection monitoring time, the value of "Partner stations" can be
adapted for each partner individually.
●
Connection mode
In the "Permanent" connection mode, there is a permanent connection to the
communications partner.
The CP only supports this connection mode.
●
Connection establishment
Specifies the communications partner that establishes the connection (always the CP).
●
Protocol type
Only for DNP3
Selection of the protocol type on the transport layer: TCP / UDP
