Hi everyone,
I’m working on a remote monitoring setup using a RUTX50 and I’ve run into a consistent issue with my Modbus TCP client. I’m trying to sync real-time sensor data from an industrial PLC to a mobile dashboard, but I’m experiencing significant packet loss whenever the client-side execution cycle drops below 100ms.
As part of my testing, I’ve been using a delta mod on my iOS testing device to simulate a high-load automation environment. I wanted to see if the router’s internal data-to-server service could handle the rapid-fire requests coming from the script, but I keep seeing “Master connection timeout” in the system logs. It seems like the RutOS firewall might be flagging the burst of traffic from the mobile executor as a potential flood and dropping the packets.
Has anyone else noticed issues with the RUTX series handling high-velocity HTTP POST or Modbus requests from mobile-based executors? I’m trying to figure out if I should be increasing the ‘Connection Timeout’ in the Modbus TCP Master settings or if I need to set up a custom traffic-shaping rule to prioritize this specific mobile MAC address. I really want to avoid cloud-based polling to keep the latency low, but if the local mod triggers keep timing out the Modbus stack, I might have to rethink the whole architecture. Any advice on tuning the router to handle these types of intense mobile automation scripts would be greatly appreciated!
