Configuring the Module 3-19

2. Reset the module (see Resetting the Module on page 3-20).
Setting the RTU Message Timeout
1. Set the values of Parameters 18 - [RTU MsgTimeout 1], 33- [RTU
MsgTimeout 2], and 48 - [RTU MsgTimeout 3] to establish the
amount of time that the module will wait for a response from the
respective channel’s drives.

Important: The RTU Message Timeout value must be considered
when determining the timeout values in the slave nodes.
For example, if five RTU messages are being sent to a
slave node and the slave is powered down, the overall
network cycle time can increase by as much as 10
seconds (5 messages x 2 seconds timeout for each slave
node).
2. Reset the module (see Resetting the Module
on page 3-20).
Default: 0 milliseconds
Minimum: 0 milliseconds
Maximum: 500 milliseconds
RTU Tx Delay 1
Parameter: #
017
0
VALUE LIMITS SEL
TIP: If the Modbus RTU slave is a PowerFlex 4-Class drive, set the
value of [RTU Tx Delay x] to 8 milliseconds when the value of
[RTU Baud Rate x] is 19200.
Default: 2 seconds
Minimum: 0 seconds
Maximum: 60 seconds
RTU MsgTimeout 1
Parameter: #
018
2
VALUE LIMITS SEL
TIP: When configured for RTU Master operation, the RTU Slave
addresses do not get assigned with parameter values. The Slave
address is contained in the message data as described in Chapter
5.
