Use I/O Modules with CompactLogix 5370 L3 Controllers
Chapter 9
Table 28
describes RPI rate guidelines.
You can set the RPI rates of individual Compact I/O modules higher than the
rates listed in
Table 28
. The RPI shows how quickly modules can be scanned, not
how quickly an application can use the data. The RPI is asynchronous to the
program scan. Other factors, such as program execution duration, affect I/O
throughput.
Table 28 - Requested Packet Interval Guidelines
Type of Module
Guidelines
(1)
(1) The guidelines in
Table 28
do not factor in the following items, which affect CMX5370 controller CPU loading:
• I/O RPI timing does not affect the task priority. Event and periodic tasks have higher priority than I/O and user tasks.
• IOT (Immediate Output Instruction)
• Messaging
• CompactBus browsing such as accessing DeviceNet network through 1769-SDN by using CMX5370 Ethernet or USB connection
Module RPI guidelines can require adjustment (increase of 1 ms or more) if CMX5370 controller application includes one or more of
the listings in
Table 28
. Monitor controller minor faults to determine if Module RPI overlaps have occurred.
All digital
The following guidelines apply:
•
1…2 modules can be scanned in 0.5 ms.
•
3…4 modules can be scanned in 1 ms.
•
5…30 modules can be scanned in 2 ms.
Mix of digital and
analog or all analog
The following guidelines apply:
•
1…2 modules can be scanned in 0.5 ms.
•
3…4 modules can be scanned in 1 ms.
•
5…13 modules can be scanned in 2 ms.
•
14…30 modules can be scanned in 3 ms.
Specialty
The following conditions apply:
•
For every 1769-SDN module in the system, increase the RPI of every other module by 2
ms.
•
For every 1769-HSC module in the system, increase the RPI of every other module by 1
ms.
•
For every 1769-ASCII module in the system, increase the RPI of every other module by 1
ms.
•
For every 1769-SM2 module in the system, increase the RPI of every other module by 2
ms.
