Controller and Touch Panel having slow communication over network

[Johnnymysto]

I'm using a cFP-2100 and a Touch Panel CE 4.2 Device, and they're communicating over my company's network via an ethernet switch.  The controller and touch panel are in constant communication, since the touch panel reflects the current status of the VI using network-published shared variables.  However, when I make a selection on the touch panel, it can take a LONG time to register at the controller.  Is there any way I can speed this up?  Does anyone know what might be causing the long lag times?

Thanks,
Eric

Hello Eric,

How long are we talking here?  What sort of traffic do you have on your work network?  If you connect the two of these to a switch on an isolated connection do you still see a significant amount of lag time between updates.
