Time out is not changing

[ramezanifar]

I would like to set the time out so that if the network is down, I can quickly detect and try to reconnect.
I set the time out as following:

c = ClxDriver()
c.attribs['timeout']=1

But it does not work. If the network is down and if I want to read or write to the PLC, it takes 10 seconds (default value) and then it fails. Can some one please advise?

Thank you in advance
