TIMING PARAMETERS
6
Under normal operation, the FieldServer will send a poll request to a Server device and that device will reply with a
response. The amount of time between successive poll requests is called the
Scan_Interval.
The time between
receiving a response from a Server device and the next poll request is called the
Poll_Delay
.
If the FieldServer sends a poll request, and the Server device does not send a response, it is considered a timeout.
The time the FieldServer waits before declaring a timeout can be adjusted by the T
imeout
parameter. If a timeout
occurs, then the FieldServer will retry the poll request a few times (number of times tried is specified by the
retries
parameter). The interval between
retries
is specified by the
Retry_Interval
. The FieldServer will send poll
requests at the end of each
Retry_Interval.
Once the specified numbers of
Retries
have been sent, the FieldServer
will mark the Node offline. Once a Node has been marked offline, it will wait for a period specified by
Recovery_Interval
before sending another poll request.
Once the communications have been re-established, the FieldServer will wait for a period called
Probation_Delay
,
before marking the Node as online.
Note 1:
The
Ic_Timeout
parameter monitors the time between characters in a response. If the time exceeds the
Ic_Timeout
, the response is discarded and is considered a Timeout.
Note 2:
All parameters in
bold
above are configurable. See table below for where they are configured, and what
the defaults will be if they are not configured.

Note 3:
A non-response from the remote Server device causes a Timeout. The driver does nothing until a response
is received or the timeout period has expired. Thus if a connection has two Nodes and one Node is producing
Timeouts this will have the effect of slowing down communication for the other Node in the sense that the driver
does nothing while the timeout timer is counting up to its setpoint. Once there is a timeout on one Node, the
driver will not retry any Map Descriptors on that Node until the Retry_Interval has expired. Thus during the
Retry_Interval the other Node will get 100% of the service.
