If the cable is not connected, data communication will Timeout after one second,
regardless of this setting's value. The default is "10" seconds.
RETRY COUNT (0 to 255)

• You transfer screens from your PC to the GP after a PLC communication
error has occurred and the error is not yet cleared.
• Your GP's RECEIVE TIMEOUT value is set to 30 seconds or more.
