I was wondering, in the line of KepServer, if you are using the Modbus Ethernet driver. I have been doing a lot of reading on Modbus and they talk about Masters and Slaves. We are also still running the product in the demo mode. So with all that being said I was wondering if anyone more familiar with both of these could answer the following questions.
1. Because of running KepServer in the demo mode, does this have any effect on the number of devices/channels that can run concurrently?
2. Because of the issues with master/slave configurations can you have more than one master on a network?
3. Can more than one master talk to one slave? IE: if you have two slave devices and two copies of Kepserver running can both copies of Kepserver talk to both slave devices at the same time.
4. This is probably a timing issue but lets say you configure 99 channels with each supporting its own device and own IP channel. Would this cause channels that are connected to the network to go to offline and report bad connection and bad data? So would this be a connection timing issue or because of the master slave issues with Modbus?
Out of the 99 channels/devices I have configured only about 10 are online at this time. So Like I asked I dont know if this is a timing issue with Kepserver, a problem because of modbus master/slave issues, an issue because of still running kepserver in demo mode, or because of running it on Win XP, or what? I am planning on trying to run it on our dedicated server and seeing what happens but I know right now running it on XP sometimes it connects sometimes it does not and it is very erratic.
So any thoughts greatly appreciated. Have a great day.
