D-2 Calculate Safety Connection Bandwidth
Single-cast Outputs
1 to 2 Bytes
In the equation below:
A = 1 ÷ Data_RPI ÷ 0.001
B = Safety_Data_Size + 6
C = (B x 8 x bit_stuffing_factor) rounded to the nearest whole number
D = 1 ÷ (Data_RPI x 19) ÷ 0.001
%Bandwidth = 100 x {[A x (57 + B x 8 + C) + (D x 115)] ÷ Baud_Rate}
3 to 250 Bytes
In the equation below:
A = 1 ÷ Data_RPI ÷ 0.001
B = (2 x Safety_Data_Size) + 8
C = (B ÷ 8) rounded to the nearest whole number
D = 1 ÷ (Data_RPI x 19) ÷ 0.001
E = (B x 8 x bit_stuffing_factor) rounded to the nearest whole number
%Bandwidth =
100 x
({A x [(57 x C) + (B x 8) + E] + (D x 115)} ÷ Baud_Rate)
Multicast Connections
1 to 2 Bytes
In the equation below:
A = 1 ÷ Data_RPI ÷ 0.001
B = Safety_Data_Size + 6
C = (B x 8 x bit_stuffing_factor) rounded to the nearest whole number
D = 1 ÷ (Data_RPI x 100) ÷ 0.001
%Bandwidth =
100 x {[A x (57 + B x 8 + C) + 2 x (D x 115 x Number_of_Consumers)]
÷ Baud_Rate}
