Subject:                                         AW: UAFX Networking WG - minimum cycle time

 

Dear all,

 

Thanks Ken and Günter for the research and recollection.

 

It looks like we need to further specify on these figures, since we need on the one hand minimal values, on the other hand the minimum to be supported ordinal values.

 

Proposal:

 

instead of:

Infrastructure

UAFX EthernetBridgeQuantities Scheduled Traffic minCT

Support minimum admin cycle time of 200 µs or smaller for scheduled traffic for ports operating on 100 Mb/s.

Support minimum admin cycle time of 20 µs or smaller for scheduled traffic for ports operating on 1 Gb/s.

 

new:

Infrastructure

UAFX EthernetBridgeQuantities Scheduled Traffic minCT

Support minimum admin cycle time of 250 µs or smaller for scheduled traffic for ports operating on 100 Mb/s.

Support minimum admin cycle time of 25 µs or smaller for scheduled traffic for ports operating on 1 Gb/s.

Infrastructure

UAFX EthernetBridgeQuantities Scheduled Traffic supportedCTs

Support at least admin cycle times of multiples of 250µs and multiples of 200µs for scheduled traffic for ports operating on 100 Mb/s.

Support at least admin cycle times of multiples of 25µs and multiples of 31,25µs for scheduled traffic for ports operating on 1 Gb/s.

 

 

Regards
Dietmar

Hello Ken,

 

thanks for pointing this out.

 

According to my memory:

Two basic scales were identified – the n*25µs and the n*31,25µs – as needed.

 

Out of these numerical series some values may be mandatory, some may be optional.

 

n*31,25µs (historically dividing 1kHz by 2)

 

n*25µs (10…100…1000 series)

 

125µs will be se common denominator…

 

Thus, 20µs and 200µs doesn’t fit into the above mentioned numerical series!

 

Regards

Günter

Betreff: UAFX Networking WG - minimum cycle time

 

Hello all,

 

Regarding OPC Part 84 Table 9 – UAFX Ethernet networking quantities, UAFX EthernetBridgeQuantities Scheduled Traffic minCT

 

 

In Mantis, we have:

 

MR 5177: The network may have a cycle time of 31.25us (0005177: The network may have a cycle time of 31.25us - MantisBT (opcfoundation.org))

From MVS ppt:

Cycle times of down to 32kHz shall be possible

And constrained by network capability not specification

 

MR 4922: Communication cycle times down to 31,25 usec

Communication cycle times down to 31,25 usec

 

 

There is another requirement that seems related (not specifically on network cycle but likely related):

MR 5943: Cycle time groups: 2ms and below (0005943: Cycle time groups: 2ms and below - MantisBT (opcfoundation.org))

At 2ms and below, the communication rates shall belong to the binary group or the non-binary group or may belong to both groups:

 

Binary cycle timing group: 2ms, 1ms, 500µs, 250µs, 125µs, 62.5µs, 31.25µs, and lower

Non-binary cycle timing group: 2ms, 1.6ms, 1.2ms, 800µs, 400µs, 200µs, 100µs, 50µs, 25µs, and lower

 

It is acceptable that an FLC automation component operates using only one cycle timing group, (either binary or non-binary).

 

In addition, there are MR 6437, 6436, 6435, 6434 that mention specific network cycles of 50, 100, 500, and 100 µs, respectively.

 

MR 6437: FLC motion shall support operation of 6 motion functional entities with a 50 µsec network cycle period.

 

FLC motion shall support operation of 6 motion functional entities with a 50 µsec network cycle period.

 

 

The smallest number specifically mentioned seems to be 25 µs.

 

 

Best regards,

Ken
