Modbus connection parameters

I am trying to monitor the status of UR robots using ignition Scada over Modbus TCP:

The connection seems to be unstable, switches between connected and Disconnected, I was wondering if its the settings like ‘Communication Timeout’, ‘Max Retry count etc causing this.

Have anyone tried similar setup and what settings would be preferred?

Thanks in advance.

I am using ignition v 8.3.4 (and previously 8.3.3) to connect to a controller running polyscope X v 10.11.1. My modbus connection seems stable.

I’m using almost all default settings in ignition.

Here are the differences I see between my setting an yours:

Communication time out: 2000

Max Holding Registers Per Write Request: 123

Span gaps: True

Max retry count: 1

I have one switch between my robot and my server, which I am running off of my personal machine.

Hope that helps.
