MB Ethernet Slave Demon.vi
The Ethernet slave demon waits and establishes connection to Ethernet masters. It then constantly scans the TCP buffer for commands from the master. When it detects a command from the master, it updates the memory tables with data and also responds to the master's query for data. You must use the Slave API to access the data in the tables.
 | Port is the port number on which you want to listen for a connection. |
 | Timeout specifies the maximum time period, in milliseconds, that the slave waits for the master's response before throwing an error. |
 | Period represents the duration of a MODBUS cycle, or how often the slave scans the TCP buffer for commands from the masters. |
 | # of connections is the number of connections to TCP masters. |
 | Demon Running is true if the demon is running (listening for connections and communication with masters). |
