Anybus^® Communicator^™ - EtherNet/IP^™ to Modbus RTU/Serial

Node address

1 to 247

Node ID, also called node address, is the node’s identity on the subnetwork. The node id is a number between 1 and 247. By default, the node is assigned the next available number. The same node id cannot be used on multiple nodes.

Name

N/A

By default, the node is assigned the name New node and the corresponding Server address. The node name can be changed.

Timeout time

10 ms to 10 000 ms

Default 1000 ms

If a transaction in a transaction fulfills the specified timeout time value for all specified retries, the remaining transactions defined for the node will be skipped in the current cycle.

The maximum addition to the cycle length is only one instance of the timout setting.

Specify how long the Communicator should wait before sending the message again, when no response is received from the node.

If the timeout time is exceeded, the Communicator continues to send the message until the maximum number of retries has been reached.

Reconnection time

Min 10 ms

Max 60 0000 ms

Default 1000 ms

Specify for how long the Communicator should wait before attempting to reconnect, if the node is disconnected.

The default value is 10 000 ms.

Reconnect time (10 ms) is not applicable for the broadcast node, that hold transactions destined to all nodes.

Retries

0 to 10

Default 0

Specify the number of attempts the Communicator should make, when no response is received from the node.
