#13 How to keep TCPMasterConnection open when method s closed

[Carlos Enrique Liendo Grillo]

Hi All,

I have a Class where there is a method for creating a swing GUI which in turns pass some data (ip address, port, etc) to a method where the TCPMasterConnection object is used to establish the connection with a Slave.

The Slave I am connecting to by using this java application needs the connection to remain open after setting up a holding register its initialization value if I want to control other devices. The proble is that once I finish using the method the connection drops and then I am unable to control the other devices.

Is there anyway to create an instance of the TCPMasterConnection that could help me out to overcome this problem? I found something interesting about singletons but it is not easy for me to understand how it works and if it could me out to solve the problem.

Regards,
