Example of Calculation of the Token Rotation Time
The following example is intended to clarify the calculation of the token
rotation time. It is based on a transmission rate of 500 Kbps.
Step

Implementation
1
Determine the number of stations in
SINEC L2.
The following stations are present:
DP master with station number 1
CP 541 with station number 2
CP 541 with station number 3
3 DP slaves
Both CP 541s can be simultaneously ad-
dressed as additional DP slaves.
2
Determine the maximum possible number of
messages for each station.
One token message per active station
CP 541 (No. 2): one PLC-PLC connec-
tion to station 3 and broadcast
CP 541 (No. 3): one PLC-PLC connec-
tion to station 2
DP master: five DP connections
3
Distinguish the messages according to type,
such as broadcast, PLC-PLC or DP connec-
tion.
3 token messages
1 broadcast
2 PLC-PLC connections
5 DP connections
4
Calculate the basic load for the individual
messages without data.
Token:
3
145
435
Broadcast:

500
2500
Total load:
4265 bit times
5
Determine the total data volume.
3 DP slaves: 50 bytes (both directions
taken together)
CP 541 (No. 2):
–
20 bytes PLC-PLC connection
–
10 bytes broadcast
–
20 bytes DP connection
CP 541 (No. 2):
–
20 bytes PLC-PLC connection
–
30 bytes DP connection
Total load: 150 bytes of data
