Settings for the Modbus driver

Post by atrejman »

Applying parameter "aliveTimeoutMsg 3 816" in section [mod] in "config file" cause following problem.

The edited config file has invalid entries. Please check your changes! Would you like to edit the file again?

WinCC 3.16 P011

Hi,

As any config entry, you must use = sign :)

So use aliveTimeoutMsg = 3 816 instead of "aliveTimeoutMsg 3 816"

Thanks for your answer. it's works :)
And by the way, you can tell me,
may I use different settings for each modbus drivers?
E.G.
[mod1]
aliveTimeoutMsg = 3 816
[mod2]
aliveTimeoutMsg = 3 100

till now common settings were enough for my config
[mod]

Hi,

Yes you can use different settings for different instances of the driver, I am myself using it for endianity.

Correct syntax is :

[mod_xx] where xx is the driver number. So for you [mod_1] and [mod_2]

BTW this is valid as well for any manager ;).
