7.14.3 Capacity planning of the system bus
Each PDO telegram possesses a constant useful data content of 8 Bytes. According to
worst case, this results in a maximum telegram length of 140 bits. The maximum
telegram run time of the PDOs is thus stipulated via the set baud rate.

As a function of the set baud rate and the transmission interval of the TxPDOs se-
lected, the following bus loads results:

Atten-
tion:
A bus load >100% means that a telegram cannot be dispatched com-
pletely between two transmission times.
Such a setting is not admissible!
This observation must be done for each TxPDO. The sum of all the TxPDOs decides
on the entire bus load. The bus load must be designed in such a way that any tele-
gram repetitions for transmission errors are possible without exceeding the bus ca-
pacity.
Note: To facilitate capacity planning, a Microsoft Excel file with the name
"Load_Systembus.xls” is available.
