Configuration of IRT with high performance
High-end applications with IO communication require excellent performance in
IO processing, for example in the control of wind turbines (converter control).
To use IRT communication with the highest performance in your PROFINET IO system, enable
the option "Make 'high performance' possible".
When you enable the "Make 'high performance' possible" option, this has the following
effects:
•
You can set send clocks of 187.5 µs and 125 µs (for example CPU 1518-4 PN/DP) or
187.5 µs (for example CPU 1517-3 PN/DP), see Technical specifications in the CPU device
manuals.
•
You can set more bandwidth use for cyclic IO data.
•
You can use the option "Allows the use of 'fast forwarding'".
Requirements
•
S7-1500 CPU as of firmware version V2.0
Enable the "Make 'high performance' possible" option.
Follow these steps to activate the "Make 'high performance' possible" option:
1.
Select the PROFINET IO system in the network view of STEP 7.
2.
In the Inspector window, go to "Properties" > "General" > "PROFINET" > "Domain
management" > "Sync domains" > "Name of the sync domain".
3.
Enable the "Make 'high performance' possible" option.
