JJ (Customer) asked a question.
Is there a way to return the message list status via ModBus for a Stride ModBus Gateway in Agent Mode?
I am using a Stride ModBus Gateway in Agent Mode which caches the state of my devices in RTU mode. This is great until one of my devices is disconnected and the cache goes stale. In the Web Interface there is a configuration page with the message list and an associated status. Is there a way to get these statuses via ModBus so I can detect when my cache is stale due to a disconnected device?
Alternately, is there a way to periodically expire the Agent cache?
At this point the only thing I can think of to avoid this caching issue is to go to a transparent mode and hit the devices directly but I would prefer not to if possible.
The Data Diagnostics page and the Last Modbus RTU and Modbus TCP requests information on the Data in Gateway Memory page are intended to help when troubleshooting the network. This information can't be sent to connected devices.
