Communications Time-Out Time (RS485 2- and 4-wire)
Program Communications Communication Settings
This parameter plays a role in the setup of the communications network by 
setting the time that no activity may exist over the communications link before 
the link is severed (Time Out).
The communications network includes other ASDs and Host/Control computers 
that monitor the status of the ASD(s), transfers commands, and loads or 
modifies the parameter settings of the ASD.
Changes made to this parameter require that the power be cycled (off then on) 
for the changes to take effect.
Direct Access Number —  F803
Parameter Type — Numerical
Factory Default — 0 (Off)
Changeable During Run — Yes
Minimum — 0 (Off)
Maximum — 100
Units — Seconds
Communications Time-Out Action (RS485 2- and 4-wire)
Program Communications Communication Settings
This parameter plays a role in the setup of the communications network by 
determining the action to be taken in the event of a time-out (Time-Out Action).
The communications network includes other ASDs and Host/Control computers 
that monitor the status of the ASD(s), transfers commands, and loads or 
modifies the parameter settings of the ASD.
Changes made to this parameter require that the power be cycled (off then on) 
for the changes to take effect.
