•
Multi-cast connection:
Select when the same data is shared by multi-
ple nodes. This setting is usually used.
•
Point-to-point connection: Select when the same data is not shared by
multiple nodes. In a unicast connection, other
nodes are not burdened with an unnecessary
load.
Note
for details on using multi-cast and
unicast connections, and counting the number of connections.
RPI
Set the data update cycle (i.e., the packet interval) of each connection
between the originator and target. The default setting is 50 ms (i.e., data is
updated once every 50 ms).
Set the RPI to between 1 and 20,000 ms in 1-ms increments.
Timeout Value
Set the time until a connection timeout is detected. The timeout value is set
as a multiple of the packet interval (RPI) and can be set to 4, 8, 16, 32, 64,
128, 256, or 512 times the packet interval. The default setting is 4 times the
packet interval (RPI).
