MSX-E systems servers
[Software hints]

The MSX-E embeds servers to provide configuration, management and monitoring over Ethernet. More...

SOAP server

SOAP means Simple Object Access Protocol. This protocol allows you to use the MSX-E software functions over Ethernet. It is providing Web Services that can easily be consumed in many programming languages like C, C++, C#, VB.Net... With the SOAP functions, all functionalities of the MSX-E system can be managed / configured / monitored. This server can be accessed on port 5555. All SOAP functions are described under Modules -> MSX-EXXXX functions.

Event server

MSX-E systems embed an event server that can be used to monitor the current MSX-E state. An MSX-E system is logically divided in subsystem states. A subsystem is uniquely identified by a number, as well as each possible state associated to it. These numerical identifiers can be monitored by using the event server, which signals when the state of a subsystem has changed. The MSX-E will send a new event frame as soon as a subsystem state changes on the MSX-E.

Modbus server

A Modbus server, accessible on port 512 permits, for example, to manage MSX-E systems from a PLC. The port number, endianness (Intel / Motorola) and protocol (TCP/UDP) can be configured through the MSX-E web interface.

Data server

The MSX-E301x embeds a data server that can be used to read acquired values. The default port number is set on 8989 and can be changed by using the Data server MSX-E Web interface.
