Performance values for link-up and update
User program share T
P15_AWP
of the maximum inhibit time for priority classes > 15
The user program share T
P15_AWP
of the maximum inhibit time for priority classes > 15 can be
calculated using the following formula:
T
P15_AWP
in ms = 0.7 x size of DBs in work memory in KB + 75
The table below shows the derived times for some typical values in work memory data.

The following assumptions were made for this formula:
●
80% of the data blocks are modified prior to delaying the interrupts of priority classes >
15.
In particular for fail-safe systems, this calculated value must be more precise to avoid any
timeout of driver blocks (see section Determining the monitoring times (Page 126)).
●
For active or queued communication functions, allowance is made for an update time of
approximately 100 ms per MB in the work memory occupied by data blocks.
Depending on the communication load of your automation system, you will need to add or
deduct a value when you set T
P15_AWP
.
