The RipEX responds to the RB packets locally and in the set RB period the RB packets are trans-
ferred over the network.
•
RB Net timeout [s]
Default = 10 (maximum=8190)
Whenever an RB packet is sent over the network, the set RB Net timeout starts. When the RB re-
sponse from the remote unit (slave) is not received within the timeout, i.e. the respective slave is
out of order, the central RipEX stops the local answering to RB packets from the master for the re-
spective slave.

Local simulation RB
List box: Off, On
Default = Off
The RP570 Slave expects to receive RB packets from the Master. When the Local simulation RB
on the Master is On, the RB packets are transferred over the Radio channel only in the RB Net
period (see Master settings). The Local simulation RB has to be set the same (On or Off) on all
sites in the network, i.e. on the master as well as all slaves.
If
On
, the RipEX generates RB packets locally and transmits them over the COM interface in the
RB Request period and expects the RB response for each RB packet from the RP570 Slave within
the RB Response timeout. When the RipEX does not receive the response(s) from the RP570 slave,
the RipEX does not respond to the RB packet from the Master which it receives over the Radio
channel.
•
RB Request period [ms]
Default = 200 (maximum=8190)
RipEX sends locally RB packets to the connected RTU in the set period.
•
RB Response timeout [ms]
Default = 500 (maximum=8190)
The RipEX expects a response to the RB packet within the set timeout. If it is not received, the
RipEX does not respond to RB packets from the Master received over the Radio channel.
•
RTU address (Hex)
Default = 01
Active only when the Local simulation RB is On. The connected RTU’s address is supposed to be
filled in. This address (0x00-0xFF) is used in the RB packets generated locally in the RipEX and
transmitted over the COM.
Cactus
Cactus is a serial polling-type communication protocol used in Master-Slave applications.
When a RipEX radio network runs in the Router mode, multiple Cactus Masters can be used within
one Radio network and one Slave can be polled by more than one Master.
