With the latest ECOM100 units, fast PLC scan times, multi-core processors, we have seen a jump in the transfer rate of Ethernet links in DirectSOFT. I have seen the number of transactions per second exceed 300 transactions per second. We have heard of faster transaction rates. Have you ever seen transfer rates above 350 transactions per second? It will probably be with an 06 or 260 with an ECOM100.

Looking at the link in the launch window, I am seeing rates as high as 472. Is this the place to read this? Its odd, because I have 1 data window open with about 30 Vmem registers with the status enabled. If I only look at that, the rate drops to about 245. Enable the status on the ladder and it jumps up above 330 to 472. I am running an 06 with an Ecom100, bought a few weeks ago with D5 running on a PentiumD.

Yes, this is one place. The other is on the Link Info page in DirectSOFT (PLC->Link Setup or click on the Link Status field in the status bar)

Just a quick look at the project I'm currently working on... I can do 501/sec with the PLC in program mode, but only 48/sec when my program is running; scan time is ~25ms on an 06.
