Issue with EthernetIPforPLCSLCMicroCom1
« on: February 26, 2015, 02:49:07 PM »
I am using the EthernetIPforPLCSLCMicroCom1 to communicate to a
MicroLogix 1200.  The communications work fine.  I receive data and
transmit data (meaning my PBs work). 

When I shut down the application it takes a about a minute for it to shut down. 
I shut the application down using the standard close X in upper right of the window.

I ran the default application with no changes and it closed instantly.
I made a test application and put one Digital meter on the main form screen using the EthernetIPforPLCSLCMicroCom1 driver.
The Digital meter updated fine.  The application took the minute to shut down just like other application.

I attached screen shot of the driver settings

GATE_PLC_186      '
DisableSubscriptions = False
GenerateMember = True
IPAddress = "10.43.231.186"
Modifers = Friend
MyNode = 0
PollRateOverride = 0
Port = 44818
SynchronizingObject = Me
TargetNode = 0

The SLC/Micro driver is currently being revamped to bring it up to the current driver standard. This should take care of a lot of these known issues. An update should be available in about 2 weeks.

The reason this is happening is because the driver runs on multiple threads. As the application closes, it clears queues and stop the threads which typically can take about 5-10 seconds (possibly longer on slower computers). The next version will help this out some and exit the application faster.
