NET_VAR_CONTROL Multiple Clients

[Bill McCormick]

Hallo,

Sorry for assuming someone can help me in English, but I don't have Duetsch, and I would rather not have some broken translator mess up my question.

My OSCAT NET_VAR_CONTROL question is if it is possible for multiple NET_VAR_CONTROL clients to connect and share data with a single NET_VAR_CONTROL server? Or would I need to have a NET_VAR_CONTROL server for each client?

Thanks,

Bill

hello

No, you can't do that.
I didn't plan it at the time.
you must use multiple NET_VAR_CONTROL server instances with different port numbers

Thanks for the speedy reply!  :)

Do you have any insight as to how difficult that might be to do (single server instance?) and if it would be a worthwhile project (many would find useful?)

hi

The oscat_network is designed to work on as many platforms as possible in the same way
As a result, the functionblock IP_CONTROL is not designed for
This would require a complete design change
