Real-Time (Rt) And Isochronous Real-Time (Irt) Communication - Siemens SINAMICS G150 Operating Instructions Manual

Note
CU320-2 DP and inserted CBE20
The cyclic process data channel for PROFIBUS DP is initially deactivated for a CU320-2 DP
and inserted CBE20. However, it can be reactivated with parameter p8839 = 1 at any time
(see "Parallel operation of communication interfaces").

Real-time (RT) and isochronous real-time (IRT) communication

Real-time communication
When communication takes place via TCP/IP, the resultant transmission times may be too
long and not defined to meet the production automation requirements. When communicating
time-critical IO user data, PROFINET IO therefore uses its own real-time channel, rather
than TCP/IP.
Real time means that a system processes external events over a defined period.
Determinism
Determinism means that a system will react in a predictable ("deterministic") manner.
With PROFINET IO with IRT, it is possible to precisely determine (predict) transmission
times.
