Generating a Script
From experience approximately 10 µs can be calculated for each Script line. This value con-
firmed itself again and again in many projects as a standard value. He is always quite right if the
processor has enough time available for the Script processing.
By means of the tasks mentioned above, the following recommendation can be formulated in
order to receive a rather fast Script processing:
• Deactivate the Debug-interface (it is the normal case in the serial use)
• Keep the data length at the RS-interface as small as possible. The baud rate is not the problem
here, but the amount of characters which are transferred per second.
• Do not unnecessarily extend the data length at the Fieldbus side. Especially at acyclical bus
data, if possible do only send them when changes were made. The data length at buses that
are configured to a fixed length (e. g. PROFIBUS) should not be longer than absolutely neces-
sary.
If the processing time should be too large in spite of these measures, there is the possibility to
generate a customized Script command, that executes several tasks in one Script command.
Please contact our support department for this purpose.
