In the case of lean automation, it is inefficient to exploit the specified limits or max. number of stations per Manager and
max. number of I/Os per RIO. The following points should be considered:
The load on the RIO Manager increases with the rising number of RIO stations. This has an impact on the overall
application in the RIO Manager.
If there is a large number of RIOs, a sufficiently large volume of PCD media must be reserved on the Manager
for the data transfer.
With the increased number of RIO stations, the build and download process in PG5 is extended accordingly.
Likewise, the start-up behaviour of the Manager or the entire RIO network is proportionately longer.
Recommendation:
20 Smart RIOs per Manager is an effective configuration for efficient and flawless operation and easy commissioning
and support.
The Smart RIOs do not have a battery. In the event of an interruption to the power supply, all the data in the RAM memory
(registers, flags, DBs/text) will be lost. Data and parameters that are remanent must either be transferred by the Manager or stored
in the RIO’s flash file system. If this is not possible, it is recommended to use a normal controller instead of a Smart RIO.
The user programs are stored in the flash memory of the RIOs and are retained in the event of an interruption to the power supply.
