*IMPORTANT: Make sure to download the Arduino based PLC boards for Arduino IDE.

Software Configuration:

Once the hardware configuration is done, it is possible to proceed with the software configuration and also its usage. Firstable it is necessary to include
the Ethernet2.h library provided by Industrial Shields (has the same functionallity as Ethernet.h and also
the same usage).

#include <Ethernet2.h> 

Ethernet2 Library - functions.

* Ethernet2.h library has the same functions as Ethernet.h.

Example Codes:

Echo TCP Server:

Once the server is running, any client can connect to the server. On this example it is used an M-Duino to generate the server. The
example of TCP client showed before could be one of the clients.

Next it is showed the Arduino IDE code:

// use Ethernet.h if you have a M-Duino V7 version
#include <Ethernet2.h>
// mac address for M-Duino
byte mac[] = { 0xBE, 0xAD, 0xBE, 0xEF, 0xFE, 0xED };
// Ip address for M-Duino
byte ip[] = { 192, 168, 1, 100 };
int tcp_port = 5566;
EthernetServer server = EthernetServer(5566);
void setup()
{
  // initialize the ethernet device
  Ethernet.begin(mac, ip);
  // start server for listenign for clients
  server.begin();
}
void loop()
{
  // if an incoming client connects, there will be bytes available to read:
  EthernetClient client = server.available();
  if (client.available()) {
    // read bytes from the incoming client and write them back
    // to the same client connected to the server
    client.write(client.read());
  }
}

Echo TCP Client:

Once the server is running, M-Duino can connect to the server. On this example it is used an M-Duino to connect with the Node.js
server called server.js, the same as used on previous example link.

To configure the M-Duino, this post just follows the TCP example from Arduino web site with a few changes. To be able to connect to the server we must know the TCP server IP and the port where this server is listening.

Next it is showed the Arduino code:

#include <Ethernet2.h>
#include <SPI.h>
byte mac[] = { 0xBE, 0xAD, 0xBE, 0xEF, 0xFE, 0xED };
byte ip[] = { 192, 168, 1, 100 };
byte server[] = { 192, 168, 1, 105 }; // Touchberry Pi Server
int tcp_port = 5566;
EthernetClient client;
void setup()
{
  Ethernet.begin(mac, ip);
  Serial.begin(9600);
  delay(1000);
  Serial.println("Connecting...");
  if (client.connect(server, tcp_port)) { // Connection to server.js
    Serial.println("Connected to server.js");
    client.println();
  } else {
    Serial.println("connection failed");
  }
}
void loop()
{
  if (client.available()) {
    if(Serial.available()){
      char s = Serial.read();
      client.write(s); // Send what is reed on serial monitor
      char c = client.read();
      Serial.print(c); // Print on serial monitor the data from server 
    }
  }
  if (!client.connected()) {
    Serial.println();
    Serial.println("disconnecting.");
    client.stop();
    for(;;) ;
  }
}
