Timeout Tag OPC

Hello everyone,

I am working on a project where my PLC is quite far from where my supervisor is installed, so to establish communication we are using radios and the Modbus TCP protocol. It is working, but not 100% as we would like.

From time to time, some packets are lost and my templates turn red.

First, I would like to know if it is possible to remove this red color.

Second, how can I increase the time that the OPC tag remains green? For example, only after 2 minutes without communication will the tag turn red.

In the binding configurations in the templates, select the Overaly Opt-out option.

Polling based protocols over a slow connection is not recommended, look into something like MQTT which is much better suited for low bandwidth connections.

If you are dead set on modbus, adjust your timeout settings for the device connection on the gateway.

Using Overaly worked here, Ryan, thank you very much!

Is there another place where I can configure this read timeout to fail, other than here in device connections? I don't want to change this timeout here.

That's the only one. I'm also curious, what is your device load showing under the Devices > YourDeviceName > Details screen?
