Receiving UDP broadcasts


Recommended Posts

Posted

We have a device that broadcast data in the subnet. Using wireshark we can see that the message is received at the Ethernet port with the destination port as expected.

Is there a way to receive this message into DAQFactory?

We tried the Ethernet server with the correct port, but cannot see the message appear in the monitor.

Other trials and testing seem to suggest that DAQ Factory's Ethernet server only supports TCP messages but not UDP.

We also had no success trying to use UDP client. B)

Probably not. Ethernet Server is TCP only, and the UDP client doesn't work in all situations. You might see about finding a protocol converter that will convert the UDP to TCP.
