Figure 1-7 Factory IO Communication Test

STEP3: Pass-through Data Test

Open serial port tool, select the COM port. The default baud rate is 115200, data

bit is 8, and stop bit is 1, no parity check, no flow control. Then open network
debugging tools (TCP / UDP tools) to establish TCP client connection, with target IP
192.168.7.1, server port 25000, as Figure 1-8 shows:
