7 STANDARD TCP/IP INTERFACE
NOTE
For BIS M-626-069-A01-06-ST3_ models.
7.1 STANDARD TCP/IP OVERVIEW
Another means of communicating with the BIS M-626 is through the standard TCP/IP
protocol. For this manual, the protocol is referred to as
Standard TCP/IP to distinguish it
from other industrial protocols.
In this environment, the BIS M-626 acts as the server and the host or PLC acts as client.
Standard TCP/IP sessions are established between the host computer and the BIS M-626
via TCP/IP client software. A TCP/IP session generally consists of three stages:
connection
setup, data transactions and connection termination .
All connections to the BIS M-626 are initiated by client side software only. If, for example, an
existing connection terminates unexpectedly, the BIS M-626 will not attempt to contact the
client software or re-establish a connection. The client is responsible for opening,
maintaining, and closing all TCP/IP sessions.
After establishing a successful connection, communications between the host and the BIS M-
626 can proceed. When communication is no longer necessary, it is the responsibility of the
client side application to terminate the connection.

The TCP/IP client software (running on the host or PLC) must connect to the TCP/IP
server (BIS M-626) on port 2101

Maximum number of words transferred to/from an RFID tag per read/write cycle: 100
Words / 200 Bytes

Disable any firewall services running on the PC. Firewalls can potentially block
communications between the BIS M-626 and the host and/or PLC
7.2 STANDARD TCP/IP - IP CONFIGURATION VIA HTTP SERVER
To configure the BIS M-626 for standard TCP/IP communications, begin by assigning the
controller a locally compatible IP address.
Through a standard Web browser, you can utilize the BIS M-
626’s
HTTP Server to access an
embedded suite of controller configuration tools, called the “
OnDemand Utilities
.” Among its
features is the ability to modify and save changes to the controller’s IP address, which is
stored internally on the BIS M-626.
