ERR_CONN_REJECTED

Incoming Connection is rejected by the IP address validation

Allen-Bradley · MicroLogix 1400 Programmable Controllers

What does ERR_CONN_REJECTED mean?

An incoming Modbus TCP connection attempt was rejected because its source IP address did not pass the controller's configured IP address validation rules. This is a security feature to control access.

Common Causes

  • The source IP address of the client is not in the allowed list configured on the Modbus TCP server.
  • IP address validation is enabled and the client's IP is explicitly denied or not whitelisted.
