Configure Peer-to-Peer Communication Chapter 17

Check Routine Timing

1. In the Multi Control Panel, select all controllers and click Control

Panel.

2. In the Control Panels of each controller, click the Statistics tab.

3. Write down the maximum Cycle Time for each controller.

4. Write down the maximum Com. Time Slice for each controller.

IMPORTANT

Before you continue to optimize settings, make sure that
Number of Time Slices (see above) is not greater than 1. If
Number of Time Slices max is greater than 1, more than one
CPU cycle is needed to carry out all communication tasks.

In this case, you need to determine if it is permissible for
communication to take multiple cycles to complete. This
depends on how many cycles can be completed within the
safety time.

If you need to increase the Com. Time Slice, start the code
generator again, and download and start the new routine on
the controller.
