Technical Specifications

In extremely demanding cases, we recommend that you take into account the

bandwidth limitations.

The total sustained data bandwidth that each device can handle for all ports

simultaneously is as follows:

FC-21ETH

—150kbps

FC-22ETH

—140kbps

FC-24ETH

—180kbps

9.2

Example Bandwidth Calculation

The FC-22ETH has two serial ports. Each serial port can support up to:

140kbps / 2 = 70kbps

If each of your protocol commands is 100 bytes, (that is, 800bits), you can safely

send and/or receive a minimum of 85 of these commands per second on each

serial port ((140kbps * 1024) / 800bits / 2 = 89.2). The same calculation applies to

all devices. A similar calculation applies when fewer ports are used at the same

time; in this case higher bandwidth per port can be achieved.

In critical applications requiring a lossless data transfer, we recommend that

communication on all the other ports is stopped when making a long file transfer

(for example, when performing a firmware upgrade via one of the serial ports).
