Setting timeout for ModbusTcpClient

[Sam Tymorek]

Hi all,

I've noticed this question asked a few places but haven't found a definitive answer: how should I set a timeout for the ModbusTcpClient. I need a timeout of about 10 seconds. As is mentioned in this StackOverflow question, this can be set via the Defaults class:

from pymodbus.constants import Defaults

Defaults.Timeout = 10

I just want to confirm that that is the intended mechanism for setting a timeout. It works fine, but it feels a little strange dynamically setting a value in a file called constants! I see this is mentioned in this GitHub issue as well, so sorry if this is duplicative.

Thanks!

As of now, that seems to be the only way to do it. If many people are doing this, I can shim it into the constructor and default the the constant if not set, however I hadn't seen anyone ask until recently.
