Reserved bandwidth for Ethernet communication
The Ethernet channel (address 0) is used to transmit configuration data, to communicate
with the web interface and especially with ibaBM-DP for the display of the PROFIBUS
diagnosis. If many devices are configured with a lot of signals, it may happen, that only
the minimum size of 1 kB/s is reserved for Ethernet communication. This is not sufficient
in many cases and may cause, that the PROFIBUS diagnosis cannot be displayed or
the communication with the web interface is very slow.
It is now possible to reserve a fixed bandwidth for the Ethernet channel with the option
„Reserve bandwidth for ethernet communication“. The default value of 4 kB/s is usually
sufficient for configuration data and PROFIBUS diagnosis.
