Interscan Delay

This parameter defines the delay time the scanner module uses between scans
of the DeviceNet network. If you have slave devices configured for polled
behavior in the 1769-SDN scanner module scanlist, Interscan Delay (ISD)
defines the amount of time the scanner module waits between DeviceNet I/O
updates.

Increasing the ISD time causes a longer network scan, which adversely affects
overall input-to-output performance. However, the increase allows lower
priority messages to get more network access. These lower priority messages
include those used to do network browsing and configuration
upload/download functions. So, if these network functions are sluggish on
your system, increase the ISD time.
