3.4.5.3 Ethernet Option
If the Ethernet option is selected for the connection type, the Communications Setup dialog
box window will appear as in Figure 3-12.
Figure 3-12: Communications Setup Window (Ethernet (TCP))
The user can set-up a list of IP addresses along with a description for each in the
Analyzer IP
Address
region of the
Ethernet (TCP) Setups
field.
The
Communications Options
field is used to set the
Modbus Address
field to the desired
Modbus address (valid range from 1 to 255). As an alternative, put a checkmark in the
All
Stations
checkbox, which will cause the analyzer to poll all possible Modbus addresses.
The
Timeouts
field provides two options -
Backoff Timer
and
Retries
. The
Backoff
timer tells
the application program how much time, in ticks (one tick = 55 milliseconds), to wait for a
response from the analyzer before retrying to contact the analyzer. If the communication link
between the analyzer and the computer is slow or unreliable, perhaps because of a long
distance between the computer and the analyzer it may be necessary to increase these
numbers to allow for a successful communications link. Leave all other configuration
parameters at their default settings.
