ERR_SOCKET_SEND

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.
