Core Boost
TwinCAT Core Boost
 | Prerequisite: Both the engineering environment and the runtime environment must use at least TwinCAT version 3.1.4026.6. |
If the TwinCAT feature Core Boost is supported for a given target system and is active, this is displayed in the TwinCAT Core Boost selection box after pressing the Read from Target button. To activate or deactivate the function, these settings must be activated on the target system using the Set on Target button. You must restart the computer after changing this setting.
If the TwinCAT Core Boost function is not supported by a given target system, the following message appears after pressing the button Set on Target:
If the TwinCAT Core Boost setting is activated, a clock frequency can be defined for each real-time core. If no clock frequency is defined for a real-time core, the Base Frequency is automatically selected.
| Correct selection of the core frequency TwinCAT automatically monitors the clock frequencies of the individual cores based on the limits stored in the system for the temperature of the individual cores or the power consumption of the individual packages. If these limits are exceeded, TwinCAT reduces the clock frequencies of the individual cores accordingly (see also chapter Core Boost tab). If TwinCAT is forced to reduce the clock frequencies of individual real-time cores, this may have an influence on the real-time behavior set in TwinCAT. The tasks executed on this real-time core then have longer execution times, which may lead to cycle timeouts. You therefore share the responsibility for selecting the clock frequencies of the real-time cores in such a way that TwinCAT is not permanently operated in throttle mode. If the temperature limit is permanently exceeded, the system may shut down. |
