Keepalive frames (only with TCP and ISO-on-TCP connections)
Here, you can set the interval at which keepalives are sent to the partner of a communications connection.
The Ethernet CP is configured for all connection-oriented services so that keepalive frames are sent. This ensures that connections are terminated if one of the communication partners fails and the connection resources are released again. The setting made here applies to all TCP and ISOonTCP connections operated via the CP. A connection-oriented setting is not possible.
