11.2 Optimising the system

How to optimise the system:
1. Use the menu command Online  Login, or log in on the Lenze Controller with <Alt>+<F8>.
• For this, the PLC program must be error-free.
• With the log-in, the fieldbus configuration and the PLC program are loaded into the
Controller.
2. Check the task processing times.
3. Optimising the cycle times:
• If technologically required, the cycle times of the remaining tasks with lower priorities
can be decreased.
• Condition: No task with a low priority must assign more than 60 percent of the
corresponding cycle time in its task utilisation.
