Using Peer Cop with Modsoft

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–CLEARor 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.
