Chapter 16 Peer-to-peer Communication Overview
Peer-to-Peer Network
Profiles Due to the variety of parameters, manual network configuration is
very complex and requires extensive knowledge of the parameters
and how they influence one another.
To simplify the setup, RSLogix Guard PLUS! software provides six
Peer-to-Peer profiles, which can be selected by the user, depending
upon application requirements and the capabilities of the network.
Profiles are combinations of matched parameters that are
automatically set when the user chooses a certain profile. The
intention of all profiles is to optimize the data throughput on the
network, which minimizes the ReceiveTMO and results in a low Worst
Case ReactionTime.
For the definitions of the Peer-to-Peer network parameters, see page
157 .
The six profiles, listed below, are described in the following sections:
•
Fast & Cleanroom,
•
Fast & Noisy,
•
Medium & Cleanroom,
