Disabling topics to stop polling

Hey Deryck, (Spelled your name right this time!)

I tried adjusting some parameters on the eWON like we talked about earlier, including having two topics that poll at different speeds. I think I notice a small change, but not a huge one. One other idea I have is to poll tags only on a trigger. So once an eWON bit goes high, poll tags Tag1-Tag99…

Is this possible at all, perhaps using scripting?

Thank you,

Nick

Hi Nick,

splitting up you data and enabling or disabling a topic should help. This would cut those tags out of the processor load when disabled and should help you squeeze a little more out of the ewon.

Here is a document covering disabling topics: https://websupport.ewon.biz/sites/default/files/kb-0024-en-how_to_enable_or_disable_an_io_server_by_scripting.pdf

You can find details about the syntax on page 52 of the Programing Reference Guide.

Also, I’m going to move this post public this idea could help someone in the future.
