At a Glance

Implementing TCP/IP services using TCP Open EFs is relatively straightforward. However, there are certain prerequisites for such an implementation, which is governed by the same development principles as a standard automation application.

Observations

To use the TCP Open EF library you must have a minimum working knowledge of TCP/IP applications and of how a socket system operates.

The implementation of Client/Server services follows certain programming rules which you must understand.

WARNING

UNINTENDED EQUIPEMENT OPERATION

The implementation and maintenance of TCP Open should only be performed by qualified personnel, with the necessary skills to handle sockets. This document should not be considered to represent adequate training for someone who is not otherwise qualified to develop TCP/IP services.

WARNING

UNEXPECTED SYSTEM BEHAVIOR

The design of a TCP Opensystem implies:

To check and validate the design of the communication system architecture (client/server operating modes and protocols, performances, etc.)
To check the implementation of appropriate EFs (or reuse of example EFs included in the TCP Open kit)
To test and validate the EFs integrated into the communication system architecture
To perform appropriate maintenance and manage diagnostics errors.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.
