Additional marginal conditions
The maximum cycle load through communication in the measurement is 20 %.
The lower graphic shows that the OB1 cycle is influenced by increasing the cyclical
PROFINET interconnections to remote partners at PROFINET:

Base load through PROFIBUS devices
The 16 PROFIBUS devices with their interconnections among each other generate an
additional base load of up to 1,0 ms.
Tips and notes
The upper graphic already includes the use of uniform values for the transfer frequency of all
interconnections to a partner.
• The performance can drop by up to 50 % if the values are distributed to different
frequency levels.
• The use of data structures and arrays in an interconnection instead of many single
interconnections with simple data structures increases the performance.
