Raw Socket connections Schneider Unity Quantum PLC's

Within unity there is the functionality to use the tcpopen set of blocks (i.e. FCT_BIND, FCT_ACCEPT, FCT_SOCKET... etc.) to connect to remote IP addresses (i.e. 10.4.5.6 port 1546).

Unfortunately this functionality is only for the premium range of PLC's, not Quantum within unity. I still want this functionality preferably without needing to add hardware (momentum blocks, TSX modules... etc.).

I am sure that there is a software solution to this problem, but not sure what it is.

Note:
- The serial device sends out ASCII strings
- The converter accepts the serial string and makes it available on a designated port (1546) on the ip address of the converter (10.4.5.6)

If anyone can help this would be much appreciated.

Reagards,

Leor
