#H_GW_AverageInterruptTime

This is a GP-4G01 system variable. You can use this variable when the [Use Gateway Mode] check box is selected.

Turn ON #H_GW_AnalyzeModeFlag to check the current system communication delay. GP-4G01 receives 1 byte from the current system host, then the GP-4G01 sends that single byte one hundred times to the communication device to get the average delay time written to this system variable. Units are in milliseconds (ms).

On the positive transition of #H_GW_AnalyzeModeFlag, the value of #H_GW_AverageInterruputTime is reset to zero.

#H_GW_DivideInterruptSize

This is a GP-4G01 system variable. You can use this variable when the [Use Gateway Mode] check box is selected.

Input Range: 1...65535

Use to adjust the communication volume between the GP-4G01 and device/PLC. The larger the value, the more data is processed by GP-4G01 at a time, which may delay communication in existing systems. The smaller the value data is run with smaller blocks of data, which reduces the impact on communication of existing systems.

When you want to check how changes to #H_GW_DivideInterruptSize affect operations, after changing its value set #H_GW_AnalyzeModeFlag ON. While #H_GW_AnalyzeModeFlag is ON, even if there is a change in value of #H_GW_DivideInterruptSize it is not reflected in operations.

#H_GW_InterruptFrequency

This is a GP-4G01 system variable. You can use this variable when the [Use Gateway Mode] check box is selected.

Input Range: 1...100

Used to define the communication frequency, you can use this variable to adjust the communication speed with the device/PLC. Increase the value so that communication by the GP-4G01 itself, or communication via GP-4G01, takes priority over existing system communications. Decrease the value so existing system communication takes priority.

When you want to check how changes to #H_GW_InterruptFrequency affect operations, after changing its value set #H_GW_AnalyzeModeFlag ON. While #H_GW_AnalyzeModeFlag is ON, even if there is a change in value of #H_GW_InterruptFrequency it is not reflected in operations.

#H_GW_MaximumInterruptTime

This is a GP-4G01 system variable. You can use this variable when the [Use Gateway Mode] check box is selected.

Turn ON #H_GW_AnalyzeModeFlag to check the current system communication delay. GP-4G01 receives 1 byte from the current system host, then the maximum delay time to send to the communication device is written to this system variable. Units are in milliseconds (ms).

When #H_GW_AnalyzeModeFlag is ON, the value of #H_GW_MaximumInterruputTime is reset to zero.

#H_HistoricalTrendMagnification
