Send interval

The NETx Server has to request the current values of all devices on startup. This means a lot of requests will be sent at the same time. In order to avoid overloading of the bus, these messages are queued.

The send interval parameter sets the time delay between sending each of the queued messages. Write requests have a higher priority than get status requests.

The queue sizes can be monitored with the corresponding server items NETx\XIO\HDL\<InterfaceName>\Request queue size and NETx\XIO\HDL\<InterfaceName>\Write queue size.

Log messages

If enabled, all received and sent messages are logged. This can be useful for troubleshooting unintended behaviors. However, logging is disabled by default to save disk space.

Ping

The NETx Server is monitoring the connection to each interface.
