3. By default all serial requests will use the Default Timeout value and Default Retries value If there are devices on the serial network that require different timing adjustments those exception cases can be added to the table below Simply specify the node ID the timing value and retry count necessary for that device The way that the timeout and retry field is utilized is The MB GATEWAY will send a request to the serial device if there is no reply from the device within the Timeout value specified the MB GATEWAY will send another request and wait again It will do this for the number of times specified in the Retry field Once the MB GATEWAY has attempted to access the device for the number of retry counts specified and no reply is forthcoming the MB GATEWAY will respond with an exception error 04 Slave device failure The Inter packet TX Delay field specifies how long between serial requests the MB GATEWAY module should wait This applies to all serial requests to all serial devices on the serial side of the module gt Setup Timeouts Retrys Windows Internet Explorer O amp 192 168 15 47 File Edit wiew Favorites Tools Help Setup Timeouts Retrys Setup Slave Timeout Retries Default Timeout ms 1000 Default Retrys 2 Inter packet Tx Delay ms 20 Exceptions Device Timeout ms 0 0 nl L Px ee Internet MB GATEWAY USER M Hardware User Manual 1st Ed Rev C 10
