2.2.12 Port[x].RPacketLen
This parameter specifies the number of bytes of data to receive on the port
before considering an incoming message complete and transferring the data to
the processor. Use this parameter if you set the P
ORT [X].T YPE Port[x].Type (page
54) value to 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, or 15.
2.2.13 Port[x].RTimeout
This parameter specifies the number milliseconds to wait after receiving the first
character on the port before considering an incoming message complete and
automatically sending the data to the processor. Use this parameter if you set the
P
ORT [X].T YPE Port[x].Type (page 54) value to 2, 3, 6, 7, 10, 11, 14, or 15.
2.2.14 Port[x].RDelay
This parameter specifies the maximum number milliseconds to wait between
each character received on the port to see if more characters are coming before
considering an incoming message complete and automatically sending the data
to the processor. In practice, this can be thought of as a period of time in which
no characters are received after receiving a string of characters. Use this
parameter if you set the P
ORT [X].T YPE Port[x].Type (page 54) value to 4, 5, 6, 7,
10, 11, 14, or 15.
2.2.15 Port[x].WTermCnt
Not used in current release of product.
2.2.16 Port[x].WTermChar
Not used in current release of product.
2.2.17 Port[x].WPacketLen
Not used in current release of product.
2.2.18 Port[x].WTimeout
This parameter specifies the timeout period to transmit a message out the port. A
message must be transmitted out the port within the specified timeout period.
Message transmission will be aborted if the timeout is exceeded. Use this
parameter if you set the P
ORT [X].T YPE Port[x].Type (page 54) to 2, 3, 6, 7, 10,
11, 14, or 15.
Note: If this parameter is left at zero, then the Port Configuration Error Word will show a value of
0400. In order to clear this error, this parameter has to be set to any non-zero value.
2.2.19 Port[x].Spare
Not used in current release of product.
