Redial delay (STEP 7)
"Redial delay " parameter ("Telecontrol" mode)
In "Telecontrol" mode, the redial delay is the waiting time between the connection
establishment attempts of the CP if the telecontrol server cannot be reached. It is configured
in STEP 7, parameter group "Operating mode" of the CP.
A basic value is configured for the waiting time before the next connection establishment
attempt. After every 3 redial attempts, the basic value is doubled up to a maximum of 900 s.
Range of values: 10 to 600 s.
Example: The basic value 20 results in the following intervals for connection establishment
attempts:
three times 20 s
three times 40 s
three times 80 s
etc. up to max. 900 s
