ERR_SOCKET_ACCEPT
Socket error during Accept operation
Allen-Bradley · MicroLogix 1400 Programmable Controllers
What does ERR_SOCKET_ACCEPT mean?
An error occurred during the socket accept operation. This prevents the Modbus TCP server from accepting incoming client connection requests after a successful listen, often due to system resource limitations or internal network stack issues.
Common Causes
- System resource limitations (e.g., maximum number of open sockets or connection queue full).
- Network stack issues preventing new connections from being fully established.
- High volume of connection attempts overwhelming the server.
Repair Steps & Checklist
Click steps to track your progress.
- 1

- 3
Restart the controller to clear temporary network stack issues or stuck connections.
