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

  3. 3

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