Serial com. question regarding multiple inputs when not polling.

[DougBuie]

I am setting up a lookout process on a voice channel. I have disabled polling. The process is event only from the Zetron 1730 controller to the rtus. When I initiate an object process, such as pushing a pushbutton object at the client or server, I must wait until completion of all scada signalling before I can input another event such as a second switch input at the server. Is this incorrect or just a function that has to be tolerated if not polling? Thanks in advance for your help. Please assume correctly that I am a beginner and need all the help I can get!

Hello Doug,

The default setting for writing outputs for the Modbus (Zetron) object is to do so immediately. I.e., whenever you attempt to write to an output, you initiate the polling of your rtus, essentially.

If you rather want to make a bunch of changes and then write them together in one poll, you must uncheck this 'write outputs immediately' setting (under Advanced), and use the Poll datamember, with a PushButton for instance.

Hope this helps. Please write back if I misunderstood your question.

Regards,

Khalid

Thanks, Khalid. That sounds like a solution. I'll give it a try.
