If multiple copy operations (several rows in the
Data map
section) happen too
frequently or all happen in the same update interval, they could delay the process
scan of the gateway protocols, which could result in slow data updates or missed
data on communication ports. To avoid these potential problems, set the
Delay
Preset
to different values for each row in the
Data Map
section and set them to
higher, rather than lower, numbers.
For example,
Delay Preset
values below 1000 could cause a noticeable delay in
data updates through the communication ports. Do not set all
Delay Presets
to
the same value. Instead, use different values for each row in the Data Map such
as 1000, 1001, and 1002 or any other different
Delay Preset
values you like. This
prevents the copies from happening concurrently and prevents possible process
scan delays.
