Modbus TCP Port
From Proview Wiki
In a Linux system only root can bind a port < 1024.
As for Modbus TCP the standard port is 502.
In this case you will get the next failure at runtime start-up: "Modbus TCP Bind socket failure, retrying...Permission denied"
- Change the port to a port number > 1024
or
- Set the s-bit on the plc-executable (note: if you rebuild do this again on the new plc-executable)
If you are running a firewall: The following commands opens this port:
sudo iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 502 -j ACCEPT
sudo iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 502 -j ACCEPT
TBD:
sudo sh -c "iptables-save > /etc/iptables.rules"
