ModiconPortSharedRPC

Controls whether the same RPC service should be used for all instances of the Modbus Plus tag type that are connected to the same serial port or TCP/IP connection.

ModiconPortSharedRPC enables Modbus devices that share the same serial port or TCP/IP connection to be grouped with the same device, enabling Modbus I/O that uses different radio channels to be polled from separate PCs.

If set to 0 (false), then the same RPC service is not used for all instances of the Modicon tag type that are connected to the same serial port or TCP/IP connection (default).

Related Variables: the behavior of the ModiconSharedRPC will be overridden when this property is equal to 1 (true).

 

Note for multi-server applications using advanced server lists: If ModiconPortSharedRPC is set to 1, each Modbus-compatible driver service will be renamed to a combination of "ModiconServer" followed by the port name.

For example, if the Modbus Plus tags are attached to a port named "PrimaryTCPPort" in an application where ModiconPortSharedRPC has been set to 1, then the driver service will be named "ModiconServerPrimaryTCPPort".
