4.5 Interfacing with thrid party applications
Creating script is possible to retrieve data from the SOLYS via the Ethernet port TCP/IP 15000. The SOLYS sun tracking application
has its communication interface on TCP port 15000. Note that it can only handle one connection at a time on this port. In case of
a new connection request, the existing socket is disconnected. Note that the web interface of the SOLYS also uses this TCP port
to control the sun tracking application. Therefore, do not use the web interface and direct communication to the TCP port at the
same time. Also, do not communicate directly with multiple applications to the TCP port. This may lead to unexpected behavior.
