Configuration limits of the CP as a PROFINET IO device and I-device 
The CP supports the following configuration if it is configured as a PROFINET IO device and 
as an I-device:

Size of the transfer area 
Number of transfer areas  32 
The size of the user data is calculated from the maximum frame size (gross 548 bytes) 
minus the following values: 1 for the CP itself, 1 per Interface, 1 per port, 1 for each plugged-
in module in HW Config or per slot used.

for the maximum number of pluggable modules 
Net size of the user data * 
* By using fewer but larger modules, the amount of user data can be increased. 
Execution times of the FC blocks PNIO_SEND / PNIO_RECV 
The execution time required to process the function blocks (PNIO_SEND, PNIO_RECV) 
required on the S7-300 CPU is decisive for the calculation of the reaction times in 
PROFINET IO.

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:
