iPCF

Note
This WBM page can only be configured with the following KEY-PLUGs:
• Access point: W780 iFeatures (MLFB 6GK5 907-8PA00)
• Client: W740 iFeatures (MLFB 6GK5 907-4PA00)
When should iPCF be used?
The use of iPCF is advisable particularly if you have a large number of nodes and want to
implement highly deterministic operation. This is necessary, for example with PNIO or other
cyclic protocols. You will find a more detailed description of iPCF in the section "Technical
basics" in the section "iPCF / iPCF-MC (Page 39)".
Note
• iPCF and iPCF-MC are not compatible with each other and cannot be used at the same
time on a device.
The possible settings differ for access point and client. Below, both will be described.
