TcpAccept

Description

This function block performs the accept operation using default TCP settings. You will have to use the TcpClose function block to release the socket returned by TcpAccept.

• 
  
• 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 If the socket is no longer valid then you must close it by using the TcpClose function block.
