Configuration

Minimum Command Delay

This value is set by the user in the configuration window. This is the minimum
number of microseconds between commands. This can be a value in the range 0
to 32767, with a default value of

0. This parameter can be used to delay all

commands sent to the Modbus TCP/IP Server (PLC) 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

This value is set by the user in the configuration window. This is the time in
milliseconds that the Modbus TCP/IP Client will wait before re-transmitting a
command if no response is received from the addressed Server. This can be a
value in the range 0 to 65535, with a default value of 1000. 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

This value is set by the user in the configuration window. This parameter
specifies the number of times a command will be retried if it fails. The default
value is 0, and can be a value in the range 0 to 10.

Command Error Delay

This value is set by the user in the configuration window. This parameter
specifies the number of 100 millisecond intervals to turn off a command in the
error list after an error is recognized for the command. If this parameter is set to
0, there will be no delay. The default value is 300, valid values range from 0 to
300, with a default value of 300
