MITSUBISHI CONFIGURATION STUDIO
5.4.2 Timeout Time
The timeout time is the maximum number of milliseconds for a break in network communications before
a timeout will be triggered. This timeout setting is configured at the protocol level as part of a driver's
configuration, and used by the protocol drivers themselves to determine abnormal loss-of-
communications conditions. These conditions then trigger timeout processing events. If it is not desired
to have a certain protocol trigger timeout processing events, then the protocol's timeout time may be set
to 0 (the default value) to disable this feature.
For some protocols, the timeout time is set by the master device (PLC, scanner, etc.), and a timeout
time setting is therefore not provided in the Configuration Studio's driver configuration. Additionally, not
all protocols support timeout detection: refer to the protocol-specific sections of this manual for more
information.
5.4.2.1
Timeout Object Configuration
A timeout object is used as part of the timeout processing to set certain parameters to "fail-safe" values.
When a timeout event is triggered by a protocol, the timeout objects are parsed and written to the
corresponding parameter(s). To add a timeout object, select the device in the Project panel, then add
Internal Logic...Fail-safe Values...Timeout Object. The following paragraphs describe the
configurable fields of a timeout object:
Description
This field is strictly for user reference: it is not used at any time by the device.
