Hey, so I have a application were I can connect remotely to the plc, but because the Internet is by satellite, I have 700 ms of delay to the CPU. I tested with clumsy and it seems like the online option is disabled after 500ms of lag. Do you have any idea what I can do? I looked and I did not found any option to change this.
Thanks 😁
Have you checked these settings already?
*
Registry
MaxBlockSize
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\BECKHOFF\TwinCAT\Plc MaxBlockSize (DWORD)
The default (even if there is no key in the registry) is 16 KByte. The smallest block size is 512 bytes.
This means that large PLC projects to be loaded are divided into blocks.
Smaller blocks should be configured for slow connections.
ConnectionTimeoutMSec
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\BECKHOFF\TwinCAT\Plc ConnectionTimeoutMSec (DWORD)
The default value is dec 8000 (corresponds to 8 seconds).
This value should be increased for slow connections.
TwinCAT PLC Control.ini
The "TwinCAT PLC Control.ini" file is located in the ".. \ TwinCAT \ PLC" directory.
[TwinCAT PLC Control]
FileTransferBlockSize=16384
The default (even if there is no key in the INI file) is 1024, with a CX9000 usually 16K are set to minimize the number of blocks.
Setting possibilities in the registry and TwinCAT PLC Control.ini
Hi,
Is it possible for you to install the TwinCAT XAE on the HMI or on a computer that's already connected to PLC on the plant? You can then try connecting to that computer remotely.
@beckhoffsupport I've been doing this and it work fine, but it's very laggy and I end up losing a lot of time to do the same work I could do on my PC
