Adjust the Communications Time-out Parameter

The communications time-out parameter used by the OMRON TCP/IP communications enabler is set to a default value of 7.5 seconds. You can change this parameter in CIMPLICITY software. To do this, add the following record to the Global Parameters file:

<port>_TO|1|<value>

where <port> is last six characters of the communication TCPIP port number assigned when you defined the port in the CIMPLICITY project and <value> is the time out in tenths of seconds. For example, if the port assigned when you defined the port in the project is MASTER_OMTCP0, then the entry would look like the following:

OMTCP0_TO|1|105

sets the time out for communications to 10.5 seconds.
