Is it possible to define a minimum delay between two Modbus requests?
FAQ #101423
In some cases (if the Modbus server is rather slow) a minimum delay between two Modbus requests (which are sent by the Modbus client) is to be respected (e.g. if the server needs some time to correctly prepare its next response).
If the Modbus client (or master) doesn't respect this minimum delay time the Modbus server (or slave) can't treat all requests which will lead to communication errors.
How to define a minimum delay between two Modbus requests?
In PG5 1.4.300 (or higher) with version 1.0.17 (or higher) of the SBC Modbus FBox library it is possible to delay the request sent by a ModBus client to a Modbus server each time the request is sent.
The same function is available for PG5 2.0.110 (or higher) with the version 2.6.101 (or higher) of the SBC Modbus FBox library.
You can configure this Minimum Request Delay parameter either in the Init Client TCP extended FBox or in the Init Client RS extended FBox.
