6.5.3 Isochronous mode
Properties
Reproducible reaction times (i.e. of the same length) are achieved in a SIMATIC system by
means of a constant DP bus cycle, and synchronization of the single cyclic processes
outlined below:
● Independent user program cycle. The length of the cycle time may vary due to non-cyclic
program branching.
● Independent and variable DP cycle on the PROFIBUS subnet
● Cyclic operation of the backplane bus of the DP slave.
● Cyclic signal preparation and conversion at the electronic modules of the DP slave.
The constant DP cycle runs in synchronism and at the same length. The CPU run levels
(OB61 to OB64) and isochronous IO are synchronized with this cycle. I/O data are therefore
transferred at defined and constant intervals (isochronous mode.)
Requirements
● The DP master and slave must support isochronous mode. You require STEP 7 V5.2 or
higher.
Mode of operation: Isochronous mode
Table 6- 16 Conditions of isochronous mode:
Standard Mode
Filtering and processing time T
WE
between reading actual values and writing these to the
transfer buffer
(the value defined for TWE
applies, irrespective of the enable status of diagnostics)
max. 625 μs
including an input delay time of
10 µs
T
DPmin
3.5 ms
Diagnostics interrupt max. 4 x T
DP
Fast Mode (only possible with 6ES7331-7HF01-0AB0)
Filter and processing time T
WE
between reading actual value and writing the results to the
transfer buffer (diagnosis not selectable)
max. 625 μs
including an input delay time of
10 µs
T
DPmin
1 ms
Note
You can accelerate the cycle of your DP system by setting "Fast Mode." However, this is at
the expense of diagnostics: Diagnostics functions will be disable
d in this operating mode.
