Comparison between RT and IRT
Table 10- 36 Comparison between RT and IRT
RT class
RT
IRT "high flexibility"
IRT "high performance"
Transmission mode
Switching based on the MAC
address; prioritization of the
RT telegrams possible using
Ethernet-Prio (VLAN tag)
Switching using the MAC
address;
bandwidth reservation by
reserving an IRT "high flexi-
bility" interval in which only
IRT "high flexibility" frames
are transferred but, for
example, no TCP/IP frames.
Path-based switching
according to a topology-
based plan; no transmission
of TCP/IP frames and IRT
"high flexibility" frames in the
IRT "high performance"
interval.
Isochronous application in
the IO controller
No
No
Yes
Determinism
Variance of the transmission
duration by started TCP/IP
telegrams
Guaranteed transmission of
the IRT "high flexibility" tele-
grams in the current cycle by
the reserved bandwidth.
Exactly planned transfer;
times for transmission and
receiving are guaranteed for
any topologies.
Reload the network
configuration after a change
Not relevant
Only when the size of the
IRT "high flexibility" interval
needs to be modified
(reservation of position is
possible).
Always when the topology or
the communications
relationships change.

For possible send cycles, see subitem "Send cycles and update cycles for RT classes" in table "Adjustable send cycles
and update cycles"
Set the RT class
The RT class is set by means of the IO controller interface properties. If RT class IRT "high
performance" is set, it is not possible to operate any IRT "high flexibility" devices on the IO
controller and vice versa. IO devices with RT can always be operated, regardless of the IRT
class setting.
