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. 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 actively sending data.

  3. 3

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

  4. 4

    Restart the controller to clear temporary network stack issues.
