8.1.3.9 Ethernet – Advance: Socket 
In the Socket table, you can set COM port parameters for data transmission through Ethernet; however, you 
need to use this function along with specific API instructions. For more details, refer to the AH500 
Programming Manual. The AH500 CPU PLC supports data transmissions between the CPU module and other 
CPU module or device through sockets and the communication protocols including TCP and UDP are 
supported; four groups of connections can be set respectively for each protocol.   
 
 
The parameters in the TCP Socket Setting are the same as the parameters in the UDP Socket Setting 
except that there is no Keep Alive Timer parameter in the UDP Socket Setting. The parameters in the TCP 
and UDP Socket Setting are described below.
