Theory of 984 HSBY Operation

 

 

Example

This example shows the effect of a configuration change from baseline as shown in

 

the Scan Time Increase Table in PLC Scan Times, p. 34.

 

A particular HSBY application has a standalone scan time of 36 ms in a PLC of type

 

CPU 424 02. The state RAM to be transferred consists of 3000 coils (0x), 2500

 

discrete inputs (1x), 2500 input registers (3x) and 8000 holding registers (4x).

The state RAM difference to the reference configuration is shown in the Effects of a Configuration Change from Baseline table below:

0x3000

- 1563 =

1464*3/8

=549 Bytes

1464

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1x2500

- 512 =

1988*3/8

= 746 Bytes

1988

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3x2500

- 1212 =

1288*2

= 2576 Bytes

1288

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

4x8000

- 1872 =

6128*2 + (6128*2/8)

= 13788 Bytes

6128

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Total: 17659 bytes = scan time offset = 17659 * 1.6ms ~ 28ms

This application therefore would have an overall scan time in Hot Standby: 40 ms (reference with CPU 424 02 0x) added by HSBY

+36 ms (standalone scan time)

+28 ms (offset through configuration increase) =104 ms

Note: No matter how long your transfer takes, it does not cause a watchdog timeout.
