2.2.18 Port[x].WTimeout
This parameter specifies the timeout period to transmit a message out the port. A
message must be transmitted out the port within the specified timeout period.
Message transmission will be aborted if the timeout is exceeded. Use this
parameter if you set the PORT[X].TYPE Port[x].Type (page 52) to 2, 3, 6, 7, 10,
11, 14, or 15.
Note: If this parameter is left at zero, then the Port Configuration Error Word will show a value of
0400. In order to clear this error, this parameter has to be set to any non-zero value.
2.2.19 Port[x].Spare
Not used in current release of product.
2.2.20 Port[x].WMinDelay
This parameter specifies the minimum number of milliseconds to delay before
transmitting a message out the port. This pre-send delay is applied before the
RTS On time. This may be required when communicating with slow devices. Use
this parameter if you set the PORT[X].TYPE Port[x].Type (page 52) to 8, 9, 10, 11,
12, 13, 14, or 15.
2.3 Changing parameters during operation
When you change the configuration parameters in RSLogix, you must reboot or
cycle power to the module off and on before the new configuration takes effect.
You may also change the value of the GSC.ColdBoot or GSC.WarmBoot
controller tags from 0 to 1 to reboot the module from logic.
