The 

NTPOLL

 command is not saved in the 6K’s non-volatile memory. If you wish the 6K to re-establish the 

NTPOLL

 polling 

rate when you cycle power or issue a 

RESET

 command

, put the 

NTPOLL

 command in the 

startup

 program assigned with the 

STARTP

 command. 

Example

:

 

2NTIP1,172,54,125,34 

; Identify network server #2 as an Allen-Bradley PLC at  
; IP address 172.54.125.34 

2NTCONN1 

; Attempt connection to network server #2 

2NTMPRI20,5,2,128 

; File 20, variables 5 and 6 in the AB PLC are mapped to VARI128  
; and VARI129, respectively 

2NTPOLL50 

; Start polling network server #2, set interval to 50 milliseconds 

NTRATE 

Network Sharing Rate for Peer-to-Peer Communication

 

Type: 

Network 

Product Rev 

Syntax: 

<!>NTRATE<i> 

Units: 

i = milliseconds 

Range: 

0 (off) to 1000   (50 milliseconds is recommend) 

Default: 

0 (off) 

Response: 

NTRATE: *NTRATE50 

See Also: 

NTFEN, NTID

, 

SYSPER, VARSHO, VARSHI 

6K 5.3 

    

Use the 

NTRATE

 command to establish the broadcast rate for 

VARSHO

 information packets to other 6K units. With 

NTRATE0

, broadcasting and listening to other units that are broadcasting is disabled. With a value > 0, it is enabled. 

A rate 

of 50 is recommended

. All sharing units should have the same 

NTRATE

. 

NTRATE

 is not accepted unless the 6K is operating 

in 

NTFEN1

 mode. 

Each 6K unit internally updates its 

VARSHO

 data at the System Update Rate (2 milliseconds); therefore, the 

NTRATE

 

command must be set to a value of 

≥

 2 milliseconds. If you lengthen the System Update Rate (see 

SYSPER

), increase the 

NTRATE

 value accordingly. 

The 

NTRATE

 command is not saved in the 6K’s non-volatile memory. If you wish the 6K to re-establish the 

NTRATE

 

broadcasting rate when you cycle power or issue a 

RESET

 command

, put the 

NTRATE

 command in the 

startup

 program 

assigned with the 

STARTP

 command. 

Example

:

 

; ************************************************************************************* 
; Send these setup commands to 6K unit #1 
NTID1 

; Set unit 1's  network ID to 1 

NTRATE50 

; Unit 1 will broadcast at 50-millisecond intervals 

; ************************************************************************************* 
 
; ************************************************************************************* 
; Send these setup commands to 6K unit #2 
NTID2 

; Set unit 2's  network ID to 2 

NTRATE50 

; Unit 2 will broadcast at 50-millisecond intervals
