3-10 Plan to Use Your Adapter

When using I/O modules with large amounts of data, be aware of the
1734-ACNR adapter data capability. The 1734-ACNR adapter has 586
bytes of memory available for scheduled transmit data. The amount of
data used by an individual connection must also include a small
amount of overhead - 10 bytes per connection. Use the following
formula to track the amount of available scheduled transmit data.

Available Memory =
586 - [(Number of connections * 10) + Sum of all connection sizes]

In the following examples, the system uses a 1734-ACNR adapter with
five 1734-232ASC modules.

In this example, you could add a sixth module if it uses less than 54
bytes of application data with 64 bytes of memory left.
64 = 586 - [(5 * 10) +472]
