Hello, I have an application with 12 FTView ME computers connected to a MicroLogix 1400 using Ethernet. My application works fine but the reaction time is slow. Up to 5 seconds to change status on the display. The ML1400 can handle up to 32 connections and I see 13 total message connections on the channel 1 connections display. 12 FTViewME and 1 PanelView.
Is there a way to speed up my application? I've tried changing the update rate on the display with no results. There are no collisions or communication errors on the ML1400. I would think the ML should be able to handle less than half of the max connections.
Couple things that seem odd. The connections page show 13 incoming message connections and 0 outgoing message connections. I can see the booloean change on the PLC when I touch the screen but the screen update takes up to 5 seconds.
Maybe I'm limited by the bandwidth of the ML1400 but would like to see if anyone has tried something similar with better results.
Thanks
