Configuring Channel 0 Poll
Timeout
The Channel 0 Poll Timeout is only used when the DF1 half-duplex
slave is initiating MSG instructions in ladder logic. This implies that the
master is most likely configured for Standard Polling Mode. The
minimum Poll Timeout value is dependent on the maximum master
poll scan rate. Since the master’s polling and the slave’s triggering of a
MSG instruction are asynchronous events, it is possible that in the
instant just after the slave was polled, the MSG instruction gets
triggered. This means the MSG instruction will remain queued-up for
transmission until the master has polled every other slave first.
Therefore, the minimum slave channel 0 Poll Timeout value is equal
to the maximum master poll scan rate rounded up to the next 20 ms
increment.
