Description |
|
|
Default |
1000 ms. Determines how often the Proficy Driver Server updates the items in this group with fresh device data. It also determines how often the Proficy Driver Server sends DataChange events to CIMPLICITY. Enter the scan rate in milliseconds (ms). If you require faster value updates, this value can be set as low as zero (0). If set to 0, the Proficy Driver Server updates values "as fast as possible". However, caution is urged when setting this property to zero because it is possible for the Proficy Driver Server to send the data faster than the hardware or operating system can support on a sustained basis. As the scan rate decreases, CPU usage may rise significantly and a corresponding increase in network traffic may be observed in a DCOM environment. |
