Modbus-flex-getter repeat

General
1

I'm working on getting data from 10 devices (which will be more than that later) every 15 minutes through the Modbus. After the initial injection, the data from Unit 1 to Unit 10 is received until 2 repetitions, but from the 3rd repetition, only the data for Unit 1 is output.
The code below is a flow using Modbus-flex-sequencer and a flow using Modbus-flex-Getter.
I wonder why if I repeat the subject, I only get the data for 1 device.

Did you try to spread out the read intervall on the Modbus?
I'm sometimes getting errors if i read the bus to fast.

i agree .. but there is a feature with the modbus Config nodes to queue the commands and define a delay.
There is no need to implement a delay yourself using the Delay node
Play around with the setting ..

increase it gradually until you get a stable read

That was a good way.
But,
When I press the injection button, I get all the values for 10 units, but when I set it to a 15-minute cycle, if it repeats automatically, I still get only the data for unit 1.

Do you mean that if you disable the repeat, press the inject, then wait 15 minutes and press the inject again, and do the same 15 minutes later that it works correctly, but if you let the inject node do the repeat then it does not work?
