Note
The PLC performance index allows you to define how much performance may be
used for the ePS Network Services PLC trigger. Each ePS Network Services PLC
trigger uses a certain number of performance points.
In this way you can control the extent to which the PLC may be occupied by the
ePS Network Services PLC trigger. The PLC performance index must be defined
individually by the machine manufacturer based on the performance capability of
the PLC.
