<![CDATA[Performing a "set" on a Persistent TCP point]]>Is it possible to perform a set on a persistent TCP point such that the set gets pushed from the data source to the publisher?

Has anything changed with Persistent TCP being bi-directional now in 3.5??

Yes. As Fox mentioned there is a setting on the publisher that permits it to accept sets. If,

  • the "Allow data source to set values back" is enabled on the publisher
  • the original published point is settable
  • it is set as settable in the point created on the receiver
  • and the user has set permission to the point on the receiver

then you can set to the received point. It will behave as though it were set on the publishing device, such that the value is only recorded as it is echoed back in the normal course of publishing.

I still stick to separate points, at the cost yes it means more data, but easier debugging and troubleshooting means I'm happy.

You can't set values to persistent TCP points generally.

The TCP/IP data source is another choice to a new publisher.

That way when you set the datapoint on the mango unit receiving the published data the changes are pushed back to the initial mango unit doing the publishing. This does mean you would have a new datasource to capture and hold the set data.
