Controlling Ethernet Communications Polling

Post by Brian »

Is there a method to control communications to a controller. We want 3 controllers on single A12 HMI. Want different poll rates for each Ethernet connection. Is this possible using the "Poll Groups" setting? Can we enable/disable a controller communications?

Look at this forum post on how to change the active state of a controller.

In the Tag tab you assign which tags go to which poll group. There is no automatic way to assign poll groups. Just assign tags associated with a particular controller to the same poll group.
