TcpBinReceive

Description

This function block receives characters over a socket connection. It is possible that the number of characters actually received is less than the number expected. In that case, you will have to call this function again on the next cycle to receive the pending characters.

• 
  
• It is possible that the socket becomes invalid if an error occurs in the TCP connection after this function block is called. You must use the TcpIsValid function block after TcpSend. If the socket is no longer valid then you must close it by using the TcpClose function block.
