Pause time, changing the write repetition rate manually
Every EZ-NET network connection automatically determines
the number of stations which are active on the network, the
baud rate which is used and the total number of bytes which
are transmitted. The minimum pause time which a device
requires is automatically determined using this data in order to
ensure that all devices can send their messages. If a pause
time is to be increased, the value of the BUSDELAY: must be
set greater than zero.
Value “1” doubles the pause time, value “15” will increase it by
a factor of 16.

An increase in the pause time means that fewer messages
(inputs, outputs, bit data, word data) are transferred per
time unit.
The reaction speed of the entire controller depends on the
baud rate, the pause time and the quantity of transferred
data.
The smaller the amount of data transferred, the faster the
reaction times of the system.

An increase in the pause time is only useful during
commissioning. To ensure that the data for the power flow
display is updated faster in the PC, a longer range for this
data is created on the network within this pause time.
