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.
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 ... 2000 ms, and it must be specified
as an increment of 20 ms.
For our example, we will use the default se tting.
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–CLEAR or HOLD. CLEAR sets all the previously
received values to 0, and HOLD retains the previous values.
For our example, we will use the default se tting.
