Summary:
When using CompactLogix PLC with the ABLOGIX driver, communications is slow and produces many errors. 

Solution:
The ABLOGIX driver is primarily designed for the ControlLogix PLC which has a higher performance than the CompactLogix PLC.

It has been found that communications speed is much improved and errors eliminated by:

* reducing the citect.ini parameter MaxPending from 15 to 5.

[ABLOGIX]
MaxPending=5

* Increasing the 'system overhead timeslice' to 50% (on the 'advanced' tab of the controller properties in the RSLogix5000 software)
