Performance

FA-M3(R) series Ethernet communication

Add array OPCItems as Advise from a OPC Client.
It is measured reading time from added OPCItems. Communication performance is defined as average time of ten times measurement.
This time means to read the value of a continuous area of the device.

Results

In case of continuous integer array tag (D register) , it is possible to get max 6,000 points per sec by using normaly access. Max 24,000 points per sec by using asynchronous access. As for the asynchronization access, the performance is about eight times as early as the usually access.

Comment

*Graph displays average time of ten times measurement.(1point = 1word)
*In case of 32K points access , Read 32K points by using 2 devices.( 16Kpoint per 1 device).
*The result only means our examination, it doesn't guarantee performance.
