Socket error during Send operation

Allen-Bradley · MicroLogix 1400 Programmable Controllers

What does ERR_SOCKET_SEND mean?

An error occurred during the socket send operation. This indicates a failure to transmit data over an established Modbus TCP connection, often due to a broken connection or issues with the remote peer.

Common Causes

  • Physical network connection broken after establishment (e.g., cable unplugged).
  • Remote peer closing the connection unexpectedly or becoming unresponsive.
  • Internal network stack buffer issues or corruption.

Repair Steps & Checklist

Click steps to track your progress.

  1. 1

    Verify the physical network connection (cables, switches) between the controller and the remote device.

  2. 2

    Check the status of the remote Modbus TCP device to ensure it is active and responsive.

  3. 3

    Monitor network traffic to identify packet loss, retransmissions, or disconnections.

  4. 4

    Restart the controller to clear temporary network stack issues.
