Function

Process data are usually transferred exactly once per communication cycle. Conversely, the temporal resolution of a process data directly depends on the communication cycle time. Higher temporal resolution is only possible through a reduction in cycle time - with associated practical limits.

Oversampling enables the multiple sampling of a process data within a communication cycle and the subsequent (inputs) or previous (outputs) transfer of all data in an array. The oversampling factor describes the number of samples within a communication cycle and is therefore a multiple of one.

Triggering of the sampling within the I/O components is controlled by the local clock (or the global system time), which enables associated temporal relationships between distributed signals across the whole network.

System requirements for the function You have the possibility to use the oversampling on axis modules from the AX8xxx series with firmware version 1.03 or newer. The function can be used on the device and on the channel.
