EAP performance

If the TwinCAT EAP device is used, the temporal boundary conditions of the network architecture used must be taken into account:

• In a network architecture, in which telegrams are exclusively sent via switches (e.g. per Ethernet protocol), communication cycles of around 10 ms or below can be achieved.
• In a network architecture, in which telegrams can also be sent via a router (i.e. via UDP/IP), a communication cycle time of around 100 ms can be achieved.

In a network, in which other communication takes place in parallel, the performance of the EAP communication can be impaired.
