TCP/IP Server Overview

This driver module provides a private IDX API (not available for end-user development) for IDX clients (such as other driver modules) to read, write and poll for new values of a DB's slots, using sockets over TCP/IP.

The primary client of this DM is the IDX_TCP_CLIENT Module which allows client TCP/IP connections to this server module. This allows for TCP/IP data transport, which is especially useful if data transport, such as OPC is not supported in the current environment or is proving difficult to achieve.

Another client of this DM is the IDX Management Console, which provides a user interface to all slots of any DB instance on a TCP/IP network, and allows read, write & polling operations to those slots. This is useful for viewing tag data and diagnostic purposes.
