Redundancy Object Attributes for Crossload Times

Before you complete calculations to estimate the crossload time, you need to use a

Get System Value (GSV) instruction to read certain attributes of the redundancy

object. These attributes are data transfer sizes measured in DINTs (4-byte words)

and are used to calculate the estimated crossload time.

This table indicates the two attributes you may choose to get specific to the

crossload data transfer size. Get the attribute value that meets your application

requirements.

Remember that the LastDataTransferSize attribute refers to the transfer size of

the previous crossload and synchronization point, which occurred prior to the

program containing the GSV instruction.

If you need to measure the crossloaded data from the last program in the task's

program list, you may need to add an additional program at the end of the task

that acquires the LastDataTransferSize value from the program that was formerly

at the end of the task.

TIP

To get these attributes, you do not need to have the secondary chassis
installed or operating. If you do not have the secondary chassis operating,

the attribute values read indicate what data sizes would be transferred if
the secondary chassis was in use.

If you need the

Then get this attribute value
