8.3 Tuning technology system cycles
The integrated technology executes its tasks in single processing cycles (see also
"Time slices" ). Based on the task, you can adjust the technology system cycles to
meet your requirements and to enhance performance of the Motion Control
application.
Select the technology in S7T Config, then select Target system > Set system
cycle clocks.
DP cycle
The clock-synchronized DP cycle of the DP(DRIVE) interface forms the basic clock
of the technology system cycles. The value of the DP cycle is set in HW Config. In
this dialog box it is only displayed.
Note
The DP cycle time must be an integer multiple of 0.5 ms. Change the value in
HW Config if this is not so.
