3.6.10 Pack Control
Two firmware-selectable packing algorithms define how and when packets are sent to the
network. The standard algorithm is optimized for applications in which the unit is used in a
local environment, allowing for very small delays for single characters while keeping the
packet count low. The alternate packing algorithm minimizes the packet count on the network

Pack control settings are enabled in Flush Mode. Set this value to 00 if specific function
not needed.

Idle Time: Idle time to "Force transmit" defines how long the unit should wait before
sending accumulated characters. This wait period is between characters. If there is an idle
period between characters equal to the force transmit set, then the unit will package up the
serial data currently in the buffer and send it to the network.
Trailing Characters: In some applications, CRC, Checksum, or other trailing characters
follow the end-of-sequence character; this option helps to adapt frame transmission to the
frame boundary.
