Property Value Description
Name text Provides a unique name to refer to the poller.
Type drop-down list Selects the type of poller.
Enabled true or false Activates (true) and deactivates (false) use of the object (network, device, point, component, table, schedule, descriptor, etc.).
Rate hours minutes seconds Establishes polling frequency by defining the amount of time between cyclic polls.
Min Interval hours minutes seconds Defines the minimum wait time between processing items in the queue. The default value of zero (0) does not enforce a minimum wait time.

Triggered Poller components do not use a Rate property. You should use the Min Interval property to balance CPU load by slowing down the execution of items in the queue.

For example, a queue size of 87344 with a Min Interval of 2 seconds creates a cycle that lasts a little over 48 hours.

Max Interval hours minutes seconds Defines the maximum wait time between processing items in the queue. The default value of zero (0) does not enforce a maximum wait time.
