2.1.4 [MNET Client x]
This section defines general configuration for the MNET Client (Master).
Error/Status Pointer
-1 to 4990
Starting register location in virtual database for the error/status table for this
client. If a value of -1 is entered, the error/status data will not be placed in the
database. All other valid values determine the starting location of the data.
Command Error Pointer
-1 to 4999
This parameter sets the address in the internal database where the command
error data will be placed. If the value is set to -1, the data will not be transferred
to the database.
Minimum Command Delay
0 to 65535
This parameter specifies the number of milliseconds to wait between the initial
issuance of a command. This parameter can be used to delay all commands sent
to slaves to avoid "flooding" commands on the network. This parameter does not
affect retries of a command as they will be issued when failure is recognized.
Response Timeout
0 to 65535 milliseconds
This is the time in milliseconds that a client will wait before re-transmitting a
command if no response is received from the addressed server. The value to use
depends upon the type of communication network used, and the expected
response time of the slowest device on the network.
Retry Count
0 to 10
This parameter specifies the number of times a command will be retried if it fails.
Float Flag
Yes or No
This flag specifies how the Slave driver will respond to Function Code 3, 6, and
16 commands (read and write Holding Registers) from a remote Master when it
is moving 32-bit floating-point data.
If the remote Master expects to receive or will send one, complete, 32-bit
floating-point value for each count of one (1), then set this parameter to Y
ES ,
especially if the Master must read or write from Modbus addresses above
