4.14.3 Capacity planning of the system bus
Each PDO tele
g
ram possesses a constant useful data content of 8 Bytes. Accordin
g
to
worst case, this results in a maximum telegram length of 140 bits. The maximum tele-
gram run time of the PDO’s is thus stipulated via the set baud rate.

As a function of the set baud rate and the transmission interval of the TxPDO’s se-
lected, the following bus loads results:

Attention! A bus load >100% means that a telegram cannot be dispatched com-
pletely between two transmission times.
Such a setting is not admissible!
T
his observation must be done for each TxPDO. The sum of all the TxPDO’s decides on
the entire bus load. The bus load must be desi
g
ned in such a way that any tele
g
ram
repetitions for transmission errors are possible without exceeding the bus capacity.
