Seem to remember something about the importance of matching period and phase in the blocks talking to a slave. Maybe the MDSCAN had to match the ECB or something like that. We saw problems when tried to adjust phasing to level the load. We found that scanning stopped when periods and/or phases were shifted. Problem now is that it's been a couple of years since the last time we programmed one of those and we can't remember the exact details.

We can't get the Integrator to poll this new device. We've deleted and undeleted the ECB, and the compound with the MDSCAN. But when looking at the traffic, we never see a poll for the new device. The thing is pretty loaded with 27 Modbus devices at a 4 second scan. A data analyzer still shows some gaps of a few hundred milliseconds where it SHOULD be able to fit in just one more. Any ideas? Thanks. _______________________________________________________________________ This mailing list is neither sponsored nor endorsed by Invensys Process Systems (formerly The Foxboro Company).
