Characteristic data of open communications services (SEND/RECEIVE
interface) over FDL connections
General characteristic data
The characteristic data is important when operating FDL connections (specified, free layer 2
(SDA and SDN), broadcast, multicast):
Characteristic
Explanation / values
Total number of FDL connections that can be
operated.
16 max.
Size of the transferable data area on FDL con-
nections.
1-240 bytes maximum per specified FDL connec-
tion (for sending and receiving):
Free Layer 2, broadcast and multicast:
Up to 236 bytes of user data can be transferred
per job. The job header occupies an additional 4
bytes.
Execution times of the program blocks AG_SEND / AG_RECV
The following table will help you to calculate the CPU cycle times (OB1) for FDL
connections. The table contains the execution time of the FCs (FC AG_SEND, FC
AG_RECV) required for DP processing on the S7-300 / C7-300 CPU.
Component
Explanation / values
Execution time on the CPU
314C-2DP (6ES7 314-6CF00-
0AB0)
Per AG_SEND block call:
• <5.1 ms at <=240 bytes
Per AG_RECV block call:
• <5.7 ms at <=240 bytes
Execution time on the CPU 317-
2PN/DP (6ES7 317-2EJ10-
0AB0)
Per AG_SEND block call:
• <2.4 ms at <=240 bytes
Per AG_RECV block call:
• <2.8 ms at <=240 bytes
Time response on FDL connections
Refer to the following table for transmission rates with FDL connections dependent on the
following parameters:
● Frame length (number of bytes)
● CPU type
The values were measured while sending or receiving successively (at a transmission rate of
1.5 Mbps; bus profile standard; 9 nodes).
