Using Bandwidth Checking

To use Bandwidth checking, proceed in the following way:

Step	Action
1	Once you have configured I/O scanning and Global Data, enter the estimated number of transactions per second in the Messaging data zone.
2	In the Global Data information zone, indicate the estimated publication periods. The value entered must be the estimated average publication frequency of the distribution group stations (local and remote stations). Example: Your application publishes the variable 5 and subscribes variables 12 and 15, published by a PLC 1 and a PLC 2. Your publication is configured at 150 ms. PLC 1 publishes variable 12 every 100 ms. PLC 2 publishes variable 15 every 200 ms. The value to be entered is 150 ms: arithmetic mean (150+100+200)/3.
3	To view the bandwidth distribution estimation, click the Update distribution estimation button.
4	If the module load overflows, the message Module load cannot exceed 100% appears. Repeat steps 1 to 3 to adjust the configuration parameters until the module load is correct.
