DataWorx WinPLC
5.2.8 Listening
The DataWorx WinPLC Server maintains "listening" and
"not listening" states for WinPLC input. You can change
the listening state from the Monitor as well as from the
Server program.
Changing the listening state can be useful when in the
process of installing new WinPLCs or changing the
configuration, because it will prevent the Server from
receiving irrelevant data.
To begin receiving data, click the
START LISTENING
button. (Note: If the text on the button reads "Stop
Listening," the Server is already listening and receiving
WinPLC data. The status of the Server’s listening state should
be displayed next to the command button.)
When the Server enters its listening state successfully, a
“Listening to WinPLCs” status should be displayed and the
text on the command button should read "Stop Listening."
To cause the Server to stop listening, click the
STOP
LISTENING
button.
When listening stops, a “Not listening to WinPLCs” status
will be displayed and the text on the command button will
change back to "Start Listening."
