Sets or gets the timeout period, in milliseconds, that GPL waits for a response from a MODBUS slave.
modbus_object.Timeout =<timeout>
-or-
...modbus_object.Timeout
Prerequisites
None
Parameters
None
Remarks
The property allows you to set the timeout period for all Modbus methods that perform I/O with the MODBUS slave.
If this time is exceeded, the method throws an exception. If the timeout period is set to 0, the timeout is disabled and a request may wait indefinitely.
Each modbus_object has an independent timeout value.
Examples
Dim ep As New IPEndPoint("192.168.0.150")
Dim mb As New Modbus(ep)
mb.Timeout = 2000 ' Timeout in 2 seconds
