Im not APROL expert, but this is answer of AI conversational help. Can you verify this answer?

The purpose of port 10000 in APROL is to provide access to the APROL web interface for monitoring and controlling APROL systems. This port is used for communication between the APROL server and the APROL web clients. It is recommended to use secure communication protocols like SSL/TLS for this port to ensure secure communication.

… and another thought you can check on: Was port 10000 scanned on the PLC? It could be that this has no relation to APROL. Is there any other communication in your system, like TCP/IP, etc.? Port 10000 can be opened by a user application for this purpose

Info from APROL team:

* * *

Port 10000 is used if event driver of APROL for communication between PLC and APROL runtime is configured. It is default value and you can adjust it according to your requirements.
