Memory concept
6.6 Memory of the integrated technology of the CPU
Calculation example
The table shows the memory utilization for a sample configuration with a CPU 315T-2 DP
with hardware version 02. The maximum memory utilization is 77% and is therefore less
than the recommended maximum memory utilization.
Quantity Description Memory
utilization
Memory utilization
(total)
1 Base load of the integrated technology 25 % 25 %
6 Following axis (with one following object) 2,5 % 15 %
2 External encoder 0,6 % 1,2 %
6 Output cam 0,25 % 1,5 %
2 Measuring input 0,25 % 0,5 %
14 Cam (empty) 0,25 % 3,5 %
6000* Cam interpolation points 0,0046 % 27,6 %
1000** Cam interpolation points to be interpolated 0,0027 % 2,7 %
Total 77 %
* The maximum possible number of cam interpolation points must be taken into account as value in the Technology CPU.
Example:
10 cams each with 300 cam interpolation points
2 cams each with 500 cam interpolation points
2 cams each with 1000 cam interpolation points
This is a total of 6000 cam interpolation points (10x300 + 2x500 + 2x1000).
** Additional memory is used during the interpolation of a cam. As only one cam can be interpolated at one time, in this
case the cam with the largest number of cam interpolation points must be taken into account (this is 1000 cam
interpolation points in the calculation example).
