Output parameters:
• Global Drive Control (GDC) and DriveServer were used to l oad a complete parameter set.
• An S7-315 (cycle time: 15 ms) and an S7-412 (cycle time: 2 ms) were used as PLC.
• PROFIBUS was set to 1.5 Mbit/s.
• Different interface modules were used.
• MPI baud rate: 187.5 Kbaud
• Baud rate of the serial i nterface for PC ada pter connection: 38.4 Kbaud

Summary:
• The transfer time mainly depends on the cycle time of the PLC.
The longer the cycle time, the lower the influenc e of the bus rates.
• A fast connection between PC and PLC accelerates data transfer. Yet, the cycle time remains
the limiting factor.
• Some CPU cards permit the baud rate of the MPI bus to be set to up to 12 Mbit/s. If technology
allows, this increase in speed should be taken advantage of.
• However, the PROFIBUS transfer rate only has a minor influence on the transfer time of a
parameter set.
