PortServer TS 4 W MEI: Are there Inherent Latency Settings?

Hi,

I’m trying to move data as fast as possible through the PortServer to a robot motor on RS-485 in half-duplex mode.

It currently takes 22 ms to send a packet with 8 bytes of payload and receive an 8-byte payload data packet back. These latencies are the same in wired(with direct connection) and wireless modes.

My device on the RS-485 line takes only 1.2ms to receive and send the 8-byte payload.

This makes me wonder if there is an inherent delay in the PortServer, either programmable or just part of the design. Does anyone know if there is a special setting that can lower the latency, etc?

Thanks,
Rich
