Using an experimental arrangement, the updating times of the signals on different S7-CPUs and access via TCP/IP were measured.

Configuration of the controllers:
  • Cycle OB1: 10 ms

  • ibaPDA base measurement time base: 1 ms

  • Connection mode TCP

There are many different factors that have influence on the measured updating times. A direct transfer to a specific plant configuration is only feasible to a certain extent.
