If multiple copy operations (several rows in the Data map section) happen too
frequently or all happen in the same update interval, they could delay the process
scan of the gateway protocols, which could result in slow data updates or missed
data on communication ports. To avoid these potential problems, set the Delay
Preset to different values for each row in the Data Map section and set them to
higher, rather than lower, numbers.
For example, Delay Preset values below 1000 could cause a noticeable delay in
data updates through the communication ports. Do not set all Delay Presets to
the same value. Instead, use different values for each row in the Data Map such
as 1000, 1001, and 1002 or any other different Delay Preset values you like. This
prevents the copies from happening concurrently and prevents possible process
scan delays.
2.8 Downloading the Project to the Gateway
Note: For instructions on connecting to the module with your PC, see Connecting the PC to the
Gateway (page 15).
In order for the module to use the settings you configured, you must download
(copy) the updated Project file from your PC to the module.
Note: If jumper 3 of the module is set, this function is not available.
1 In the tree view in ProSoft Configuration Builder, right-click the PLX3X
GATEWAY icon and then choose DOWNLOAD FROM PC TO DEVICE. This opens
the Download dialog box.
2 In the Download dialog box, in the Select Connection Type dropdown box,
use the default ETHERNET option.
Note: If you connected to the module using a temporary IP address, the
Ethernet address field contains that temporary IP address. ProSoft
Configuration Builder uses this temporary IP address to connect to the
module.
