1.7 Bandwidth Calculation
Use the following information to calculate the network bandwidth MODBUS-GW usage requires and how it will impact the network.
1.7.1 Calculating the Bandwidth Requirement
• One request and response pair requires 329 Bytes (66 + 263).
• If a client is polling at one second intervals, then request and response are both possible in
one second.
• A request and response pair creates network traffic of 329 Bytes per second (329 x 1).
• In other words, a request and response pair creates network traffic of 2632 bits per second (329 x 8).
• Therefore, the network must be able to accommodate at least 0.0027 Mbps data flow.
• Once every five seconds, an analog request adds a small amount of network traffic.
• Formula for MODBUS-GW network bandwidth requirement based on polling rate:
Bandwidth Requirement = (329 x (1000/polling rate in milliseconds) x 8) / (10
