2.2.8 Slave Diagnostics Register
0 to 3600, -1 to disable
Enter the database register start location for DPV1 slave diagnostics messages,
or -1 to disable slave diagnostics.
When this register is enabled, the gateway will automatically place 378 words of
collected slave diagnostic data into the specified database start register.
Each slave requires 3 words of data. Data is gathered for slaves 0 to 125. The
application will poll for a new slave every 100 milliseconds.
2.2.9 Alarm Register
0 to 3900, -1 to disable
Enter the database register for DPV1 alarm messages, or -1 to disable alarm
messages.
2.2.10 Status Data Register
0 to 3900, -1 to disable
Enter the gateway memory database register for DP-V1 status data messages,
or -1 to disable status data messages.
2.2.11 Minimum Command Delay
0 to 32767
Minimum number of milliseconds between each command.
2.2.12 Response Timeout
0 to 5000 milliseconds
Number of milliseconds to wait for response to command. The value is set
depending upon the communication network used and the expected response
time of the slowest device on the network.
2.2.13 Watchdog Register
The Watchdog function allows the gateway to monitor a database register, the
Watchdog Register, to check for loss of communication with the non-PROFIBUS
communication protocol. If this function is used, the other gateway protocol is
expected to change the value in the Watchdog Register at an interval less than
the amount of time specified in the Watchdog Timeout parameter. If the value in
the Watchdog Register does not change within this amount of time, a
communication loss is assumed and the Watchdog function will set the
PROFIBUS outputs to the default value specified in the Watchdog Reset Value
parameter. To disable this function, set this parameter to a value of -1.
