Modbus plugin bug
Posted: Sun Nov 27, 2016 5:13 pmHi Balázs,
It seems that there is still one bug in the Modbus plugin. Regardless how the Retry count is set up in the Connection setting window the number of retry remains the same. If set higher than three (default value) it is always four times, if I set it to only 1 it is also resent four times if the VFD is not able to process and won't send a reply in time. My settings are:
Serial RTU
COM6
38400 bps
8N1
Retry count: 0,1,2,3,5 and 10 tested
Timeout: 75ms
Loop interval: 20ms
Tested many other values also but it makes no difference for the behaviour. I would like to keep the number of retry as low as possible, preferably zero, since the messages are sent in a loop anyway, so if one message does not get answered it can be ignored since it will be resent when the next loop starts.
Ignore this if it is too much trouble to correct it, since it is no big deal, but never the less it is a bug and I thought I report it.
