Note the following recommendations:
● Do not call communication program blocks cyclically in OB1!
Call up communication time-controlled in a suitable time OB. The call interval of this OB
should be significantly higher than the average cycle time of OB1.
● Set a minimum cycle time that is higher than the average runtime of OB1. This frees
resources for communication on the CPU. This is, for example, a solution for existing
applications when communication already takes place cyclically in OB1.
● If necessary, reduce the time taken for communication processing on the CPU by
changing the parameter "Scan cycle load from communication" of the CPU.
