Modnet Driver Preformance

Hello All

Please, someone can give me ideas to tuning better the Modnet Protocol.

we get some intermittent communication errors "I/O Device off-line, cannot talk".

We configured 55 IO Devices over Modnet Protocol reading about 200k Tags in the redundant system.

Thank you

    Basically, the MaxPending is just how many requests the Modnet driver will buffer internally ready for transmission, while MaxOutstanding is how many concurrent messages can be sent. These settings really need to be tuned depending on the hardware you are communicating with. I have seen some devices that only accept 1 request at once (MaxOutstanding=1) while others can accept up to 32 parallel messages without issue. The more messages you can send in parallel, the better your throughput. Always respect the requirement that MaxPending is greater than MaxOutstanding.
