Number of connection count of Modbus TCP Driver

Post by dongil »

I tested about modbus tcp driver today.

When I set active for one device. The device got two connection number.

Why WinCC OA need two connection for one device active ?

Is there any way to get one connection ? We are only read from the device.

With the default settings both servers of a redundant system will connect to the device.
At the Modbus PLC configuration you can configure that only the active server should connect to the PLC with the setting 'Only active driver'.
