Remote connections depend on the communication card. Use the following
table to tally remote connections:
After calculating the number of remote connections, make sure they do not
exceed the limitations of the communication card:
• each ControlNet communication card supports 32 total connections, 9
of which can be scheduled (such as direct I/O connections and
produced and consumed tags)
• the Ethernet/IP communication card supports 32 total connections of
any type
Even if the total number of connections is within the card limitations, the total
number of messages per second must also be within the card limitations. You
can estimate the number of messages per second for a connection as (2 * 1000
ms) / RPI.
The communication cards support:
• each ControlNet communication card supports 1490 messages/second
• the EtherNet/IP communication card supports 4000 messages/second
