7.8.3. Node Sengs
Before You Begin
Ensure that the Communicator Basic sengs, on the Communicaon page, match the Node sengs.
There are no Node sengs for the Broadcast node, except Name.
Procedure
Figure 47. Nodes page, Node sengs
1. In the node list, select a node to congure.
2. Congure the Node sengs.
Seng Value Descripon
Node address 1 to 247 Node ID, also called node address, is the node’s identy 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 mulple 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 me 10 ms to 10 000 ms
Default 1000 ms
If a transacon in a transacon fullls the specied meout me value for all
specied retries, the remaining transacons dened for the node will be
skipped in the current cycle.
The maximum addion to the cycle length is only one instance of the mout
seng.
Specify how long the Communicator should wait before sending the message
again, when no response is received from the node.
If the meout me is exceeded, the Communicator connues to send the
message unl the maximum number of retries has been reached.
Reconnecon
me
Min 10 ms
Max 60 0000 ms
Default 1000 ms
Specify for how long the Communicator should wait before aempng to
reconnect, if the node is disconnected.
The default value is 10 000 ms.
Reconnect me (10 ms) is not applicable for the broadcast node, that hold
transacons desned to all nodes.
Retries 0 to 10
Default 0
Specify the number of aempts the Communicator should make, when no
response is received from the node.
Address
format
Default format:
Address Register
Modicon Modicon extended
Available for the Modbus TCP serial protocol.
Specify the address format for the node.
Address: 0, 1, 2, ...
Register: 1, 2, 3, ...
Modicon: 00001/10001/30001/40001
Modicon extended: 000001/100001/...
