Hi everybody, I'm sending this again because for some reason carriage returns seem to have been lost and the post was difficult to read. In the past I had a serious problem with an FBM230 with Modbus protocol communicating with a slave using RS-232, in RTU mode. When the slave response to any query from the master arrived too fast, the FBM would ignore the response and retry. I finally worked around the problem delaying the response from the slave a few milliseconds using a setting (at the slave device) that was meant for radio communication (RTS to TxD delay). I am now facing the same problem again, with another slave device. The problem is that this time I have no way to delay the slave response. I tried using RTS/CTS handshake on the RS-232 line, but the problem remains. I know for sure that cable and switch settings at the TA are ok because I'm looking at the line with a protocol analyser and see correct query and response messages.I would like to know if somebody else has experienced this problem too.
