TCP/IP has become the most important protocol family for communication in a LAN or a WAN. PXtcp was developed especially for the purpose of integrating a PXROS application into a TCP/IP-based network. The module consists of various PXROS tasks which provide the TCP/IP functionality. This module is part of the Basic Communication Package.
