TcpBinSend
Description
This function block sends characters over a socket. It is possible that the number of characters actually sent is less than the number expected. In that case, you will need to use TcpBinSend again to send 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 If the socket is no longer valid then you must close it by using the TcpClose function block.
