5 Performance Data
5.3Characteristics of the SEND/RECEIVE Interface
Table
Characteristic | Explanation / Values |
|
|
Number of | 8 maximum |
connections + UDP connections in total | Notes: |
| |
| S All UDP connections are also possible in the |
| multicast mode |
| S Free UDP connections are supported by the |
| CP. |
|
|
Max. data length for blocks AG_SEND (V4.0 and | AG_SEND and AG_RECV allow the transfer of |
higher) and AG_RECV (V4.0 and higher) | data fields of between 1 and 240 bytes. |
| S 1 to 8192 bytes for |
| S 1 to 2048 bytes for UDP |
|
|
Restrictions for UDP |
|
S Transfer is not confirmed | The transmission of UDP frames is unconfirmed, in |
| other words the loss of messages is not detected |
| or displayed by the send blocks (AG_SEND). |
S Data field length | The maximum length of the data fields is 2048 |
| bytes. |
S No reception of UDP broadcast | To avoid communication overload resulting from a |
| high broadcast load, the CP does not permit |
| reception of UDP broadcast. |

Execution Times of the FCs AG_SEND / AG_RECV
To calculate the CPU cycle times (OB1) with SEND/RECEIVE connections, the execution time for the FCs (FC AG_SEND, FC AG_RECV) required for processing on the S7−300 / C7−300 CPU is the decisive factor.
