| Packet Mode of Serial | Default is disabled. This will be the setting for the |
|
| Input (enable/disable) | serial data arriving at the serial port in a bit stream. |
|
|
| Enable if serial data on the serial interface will be in |
|
|
| packet mode. |
|
| Packet Mode | This time value (in milliseconds) is the delimiter |
|
| Timeout | timeout value between serial packets. This only |
|
|
| applies if packet mode of the serial input is enabled. |
|

|
|
| connected to the Device Server or the field bus |
|
|
| protocol used (i.e., Modbus, etc.). |
