Confirming the Peer Cop Summary Information
Overview
Once you have defined the link and accessed a node, the Peer Cop summary
information values assume default settings. This section describes those settings
and how to confirm or change them.
Timeout
The default Timeout is
500 ms.
Timeout is the maximum interval that Modbus Plus on a Peer-Copped device will
remain healthy without communication activity. If this interval is exceeded, the
device will clear its network health bit and will no longer try to communicate via
Modbus Plus.
The timeout interval must be in the range 20 ... 2000ms, and it must be specified as
an increment of 20ms.
For our example, we will change the timeout value to 240ms.
On Error
The default On Error setting is
CLEAR
.
The
On Error setting specifies how the Peer-Copped device will treat the last
values received before a timeout, once Modbus Plus communications have been
restored.
One of two settings may be used–
CLEAR
or
HOLD
.
CLEAR
sets all the previously
received values to 0, and
HOLD
retains the previous values.
For our example, we will change the setting to
HOLD
.
