Active Message

In response to a proper IF condition, the Active Message function sends a customized message to one

or more IP destinations by TCP or UDP packets. Select the THEN/ELSE action to Active Message

and click on the property button to enter the Message Content Settings window.

Enter your desired message in the Message Content column. Dynamic fields such as time, date, IP

address, and I/O status can be inserted in your message by clicking Keyword Lookup. Messages are

sent in ASCII by default, but can be sent in HEX by selecting “Message Format” as “HEX (separated

by “,”)” checkbox or sent in Unicode by selecting “Message Format” as “UNICODE (UCS-2)”

checkbox. Click the Set Active Message button to configure the default parameters such as the

messaging protocol (TCP or UDP), socket port (9001 by default), and up to 10 target message

servers.

Messages can be received by a program using standard sockets, Moxa MXIO library, or ioAdmin’s

Message Monitor.

When sending a message in HEX, each HEX value must be delimited by commas. View the

incoming message in the Message Monitor tab, select Toggle HEX checkbox. Note that certain

numbers are control characters that will not show up in the Message Monitor.
