How to Set Poll Day Delay in Ignition, I see it shows only communication timeout in Modbus settings. Is there any backend setting available for this poll delay. ---

If you are after a setting to configure the poll rate for modbus tags, you would set up the individual tags in ignition then assign them to a Tag Group. The tag group specifies the rate that the Ignition gateway polls the tags for values. > **[Tag Groups | Ignition User Manual](https://www.docs.inductiveautomation.com/docs/8.1/platform/tags/tag-groups)** > > What Is a Tag Group? ---

If you mean delays **between** commands, no, Ignition's Modbus driver doesn't have a setting for that. As it happens, my alternate driver **does** have this setting: > [@Automation Professionals' Advanced Modbus Driver](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/automation-professionals-advanced-modbus-driver/41312): > > Automation Professionals is pleased to announce the first beta for its Advanced Modbus Driver, for Ignition version 7.9.

Actually IFIX SCADA has this feature as well, to set poll delay for each register/register groups. With ignition same can be achieved as David\_Stone suggested.
