Title: Communication Server
Post by: willpoll on September 27, 2017, 11:59:55 AM
Is it possible to start DoMore without communication server checking every one of your saved connections?

I manage about 50 sewer and water pumping stations and am in the process of converting to DoMore PLCs, already it takes 30 seconds to start with just 16 entries in my list.

If this is a setting I've overlooked, please let me know.

Thanks!!

Will

Yes.  From Designer's LanchPad docked window, open the DmDesigner.INI file in the Applications group.

Look for the [Comm Server] group and add AutoSense=0

Code: [Select]
[Comm Server]
AutoSense=0

It may just be commented out with a semi-colon.  Just get rid of the semi-colon.  Next time it won't bother doing any of the Auto Sensing.

Thanks franji1,

You rock!

Took me a second to figure out your instructions but I got it. Now 5 seconds instead of 30.

Also can be found at C:\Windows\DmDesigner2_1.INI, at least on Win7 with default installation.

That copy may not always work due to security.

That is the "fake" one.  Window's security has the actual file in an invisible folder.  Just use the entry in the Applications box in Designer - that is smart enough to figure out where the "real" INI file is.

Some older systems with old security still use the Window's folder - you may be one of the "lucky" ones  ;).  Regardless, Designer knows best.

Without a doubt!
