I have aproximately 80 CR1000s on a multi-drop radio that I'm using modbus to retrieve realtime data from. Additionally I want to have the option to pull logs over pakbus (not to mention the ability to remotely debug issues using loggernet).
What I have observed is that some of the devices on the network are sending un-solicited pakbus between them.
I've begun going through and making sure beacons are turned off on the serial port. Thus far I haven't found the beacon to be on (value for period is 0) for the devices that the pakbus protocol message is identifying
Is there anything else I need to do/verify to disable each device from sending unsolicited pakbus? Some of these are legacy devices - wondering if they've been configured to do something on an periodic basis.
In any case over a multi-drop serial network it tends to be disruptive.
