ASI Software Connections
The EtherLink/2 supports both UDP/IP and TCP/IP connections. Access to a single
ASI serial bus can be shared to multiple remote users simultaneously.
The ASI OPC Server is usually the primary connection. If more than one Etherlink/2
is on the network then the primary connection should be via TCP/IP.
Like the EtherLink/1 before it, the EtherLink/2 can host only one TCP/IP connection
at a time. The TCP/IP connection is automatically reset after 15 seconds of
inactivity. Use of TCP/IP is recommended when you don't want to have to open up a
unique IP port on the host's firewall for each remote EtherLink/2.
While the EtherLink/1 could not host multiple connections, the EtherLink/2 adds
support for multiple simultaneous connections via UDP. If multiple EtherLink/2's
are connected to the same OPC server using UDP, then each EtherLink/2 must use a
unique IP port number so as to avoid traffic crosstalk. .
ASI Expert can also be used to connect to the Etherlink/2 as a secondary connection
using UDP. It is possible to have one or more Expert users connected to an
EtherLink/2 via UDP while an OPC Server is simultaneously polling that same
EtherLink/2 over TCP/IP.
