Ctrl Command eth_set_com_timeouts
Function Sets timing information (for Ethernet communication) for an RTC6 Ethernet Board that is
entered in the RTC6 board management (and needs to be acquired, if KeepAlive and
KeepInterval are to be changed).
Call eth_set_com_timeouts( AcquireTimeout, AcquireMaxRetries, SendRecvTimeout,
SendRecvMaxRetries, KeepAlive, KeepInterval )
Parameters AcquireTimeout As an unsigned 32-bit value.
With 0 the parameter is not changed.
AcquireMaxRetries See AcquireTimeout .
SendRecvTimeout See AcquireTimeout .
SendRecvMaxRetries See AcquireTimeout .
KeepAlive See AcquireTimeout .
KeepInterval See AcquireTimeout .
Result None.
Comments • See also Chapter 16.5.3 ”About the RTC6 Board Management”, page 905.
• The settings can be queried by eth_get_com_timeouts.
• All time specifications in µs.
• As a rule, it is not required to change these parameter values. In case of timing
problems contact SCANLAB in order to clarify your special local characteristics.
• AcquireTimeout , AcquireMaxRetries , SendRecvTimeout and SendRecvMaxRetries refer only
to the RTC6 DLL. Therefore, they can be set even without granted access right to an
RTC6 Ethernet Board.
• KeepAlive and KeepInterval are not set, if for the addressed RTC6 Ethernet Board
– there is no access right granted
(get_last_error return code RTC6_ACCESS_DENIED and RTC6_ETH_ERROR )
– there is a granted access right, but no connection is established
(get_last_error return code RTC6_ETH_ERROR )
•  DLL 619:
No get_last_error return code is set with KeepAlive = KeepInterval = 0 because a
connection to an RTC6 Ethernet Board is not necessary.
• eth_set_com_timeouts_auto sets an automatic mechanism, see there.
RTC4RTC6 New command.
RTC5RTC6 New command.
Version info Available as of DLL 606, OUT 606, RBF 611.
Last change DLL 619: No longer an error message, if there is no RTC6 Ethernet Board
connection.
