Lookout 4.5 Modbus Ethernet problem (even with new modbus.cbx)

[JPmsu]

I have the same problem mentioned in a previous post (3/12/2001 by Laurie Hall), where my Modbus ethernet connections are not established until I open each of my 3 modbus driver objects' properties and then click OK. I have downloaded the new modbus.cbx, attached to an answer to that post dated 3/16/2001, but the problem persists. Any other things to try?

If the new modbus.cbx file did not correct your problem call NI tech support. It speeds up the process if you have a small example to send in and have version of Lookout you are using.

I have seen this problem and do not know a work around. Have you received an answer from N.I. yet? N.I. is currently working on a another Modbus problem we saw and is the main reason why we have not switched from 3.8 to 4.X. The pole rate can be dramatically effected by consecutive reads i.e. reading 0x01,0x02,0x03...0x0100 will be fast but if there is any break in the numbers the scan rate is slower. i.e 0x01,0x03,0x05...0x099. You can actually pole 100 points consecutive reads faster than you can poll 20 points non consecutive. There should be a fix this month I hope.
