5.3 S7 communication characteristics
Number of connections
Characteristic Explanation / values
Number of connections for S7 communication on
Industrial Ethernet
8 S7 connections configured at one or both ends
Also:
2 PG/OP connections
1 diagnostics connection
The number depends on the CPU type being used. Please refer to
/10/ for the values for your CPU.

Execution times of the FBs for S7 connections
To calculate the CPU cycle times (OB1) with S7 connections, the execution time for the
function blocks (FBs PUT, GET, USEND, URCV, BSEND, BRCV) required for processing on
the S7-300 / C7-300 CPU is the decisive factor.
