Link monitoring
o
As soon as both Ethernet cables are pulled with enabled
Link monitoring
, the com-
munication is finished by the
ricos
FLEX BC MODBUS, BASP (
B
efehls-
A
usgabe-
S
perre, i.e. command output disable) is activated and this is indicated with flash-
ing SB LED.
Link monitoring
reacts only when both Ethernet cables are pulled.
•
Communication timeout
o
At
Communication Timeout [ms]
you can specify a timeout value for Ethernet com-
munication in ms.
o
If there is no Modbus communication for the specified time, BASP is set on the
ri-
cos
FLEX bus.
o
With the value 0, you can deactivate the time monitoring.
•
IO cycle
o
With
IO cycle
, you can specify the cycle for the
ricos
FLEX bus within which the I/O
image is to be refreshed.
o
With the value 0 you can set the maximum possible cycle time (no delay).
•
Socket timeout
o
At Socket Timeout [ms] you can specify a timeout value for the Modbus socket
connection in ms.
o
If there is no Modbus communication on a specific Modbus socket connection for
the specified time, the corresponding socket is closed.
o
With the value 0, you can deactivate the time monitoring.
