TCP
The T ransmission C ontrol P rotocol is part of the TCP/IP protocol family. Each TCP/IP data connection
has a transmitter and a receiver. This principle is a connection-oriented data transmission. In the
TCP/IP protocol family the TCP as the connection-oriented protocol assumes the task of data
protection, data flow control and takes measures in the event of data loss. (compare:
→UDP)

UDP
UDP ( U ser D atagram P rotocol) is a minimal connectionless network protocol which belongs to the
transport layer of the internet protocol family. The task of UDP is to ensure that data which is
transmitted via the internet is passed to the right application.
At present network variables based on
→CAN and UDP are implemented. The values of the variables
are automatically exchanged on the basis of broadcast messages. In UDP they are implemented as
broadcast messages, in CAN as
→PDOs.
According to the protocol, these services are unconfirmed data transmission: it is not checked whether
the receiver receives the message. Exchange of network variables corresponds to a "1 to
n connection" (1 transmitter to n receivers).

Watchdog
In general the term watchdog is used for a component of a system which watches the function of other
components. If a possible malfunction is detected, this is either signalled or suitable program
branchings are activated. The signal or branchings serve as a trigger for other co-operating system
components to solve the problem.
