2.3. Parameters of the measurement

The measurement was performed with the following parameters:

Component Parameter Explanation
DP master CPU Setting of the CPU
CP Setting of the CP
Load due to program Setting of the load that is generated in the DP master (OB1 cycle and HMI configuration)
Network Baudrate Setting of the PROFIBUS DP baud rate
Load on net Setting of an additional network load (DP master and slave)
Number of net loads Setting of the number of HMI panels
Load due to HMI configuration Setting of the scope of configuration of each HMI panel
DP slave Slave type Setting of the slave type
Number of Y-Links Setting of the number of Y-Links at the redundant PROFIBUS (only with H-CPUs!)
Number of stations Setting of the number of DP slave stations on PROFIBUS DP
IO bytes per station Setting of the input and output bytes on each DP slave
(here 2 I/O bytes mean 1byte input and 1byte output)

 

Note:

The ranges of values of the individual parameters that can be set may vary depending on the configuration.
Please note the respective displays on the user interface.
