Execution times for FBs for S7 connections 
The execution time required to process the function blocks (FBs PUT, GET, USEND, URCV, 
BSEND, BRCV) required on the S7-300 / C7-300 CPU is decisive for the calculation of the 
CPU cycle times (OB1) for S7 connections. 
 
Note 
Measurements of transmission and reaction times in Ethernet, PROFIBUS and PROFINET 
networks for a series of configurations can be found on 
the Internet at the following address:

Characteristic data of the SEND/RECEIVE Interface 
The SEND/RECEIVE interface provides access to communication over TCP, ISOonTCP, 
ISO transport and UDP connections.  
The following characteristics are important:

TCP connections + TCP connections + UDP 
connections in total 
16 maximum 
Notes: 
•  All UDP connections are also possible in 
multicast mode. 
•  Free UDP connections are supported by the 
CP. 
Maximum data length for the blocks AG_SEND 
(as of V4.0) and AG_RECV (as of V4.0) 
AG_SEND and AG_RECV allow the transfer of 
blocks of data with the following lengths: 
•  1 to 8192 bytes for ISO transport, ISO-on-
TCP, TCP 
•  1 to 2048 bytes for UDP
