ERR_SOCKET_RECEIVE
Socket error during Receive operation
Allen-Bradley · MicroLogix 1400 Programmable Controllers
What does ERR_SOCKET_RECEIVE mean?
An error occurred during the socket receive operation. This indicates a failure to receive data over an established Modbus TCP connection, often due to a broken connection or the remote peer not sending data.
Common Causes
- Physical network connection broken after establishment.
- Remote peer not sending data or sending malformed data.
- Internal network stack buffer issues or corruption on the receiving end.
Repair Steps & Checklist
Click steps to track your progress.
- 1
Verify the physical network connection (cables, switches) between the controller and the remote device.
- 2
Check the status of the remote Modbus TCP device to ensure it is actively sending data.
- 3
Monitor network traffic to identify packet loss, retransmissions, or disconnections.
- 4
Restart the controller to clear temporary network stack issues.
