Boolean

CIMPLICITY Field Name

Poll After Set

Description

Determines if polling should be done after a setpoint. Valid values are:

 

0

Do not poll (default)

 

1

Scan immediately

Important: Some device communication interfaces support asynchronous polling by default.

These devices include:

AB Ethernet

Mitsubishi TCP/IP

Sharp

Triplex

For these interfaces, if the device response to a poll request is received during the poll after set processing, the response on the poll after set can be processed first.

Do the following if either condition occurs.

This behavior is observed and is a problem for the application

Normal polling delivers the data to the application in a time frame sufficient to meet the application needs.

Clear the Poll after Set checkbox on the Device tab of the Point Properties dialog box.

If a poll after set is required, the asynchronous polling can be disabled on the port.

Caution: Disabling asynchronous polling on a port may significantly alter the data collection performance.

To disable the asynchronous polling, define the global parameter <PORT>_SYNC_ONLY .

Synchronous polling is disabled by default.
