Optimizing Message Lengths
Automatically creating datablocks from Database Manager is an easy way to
reference device addresses without having to use both an I/O driver configuration
program (Power Tool, VB Client application, or other) and iFIX software. When you
use this feature, you may find it necessary to modify the datablock address properties
to optimize throughput. By using this approach, you ensure that all of the requested
data can be retrieved from the process hardware with the fewest number of
datablocks. Since each datablock represents a message request, the more data that the
driver can retrieve with the fewest requests, the more bandwidth that will be available
on your network for other uses, such as peer-to-peer communications or additional
PLCs and SCADA servers.
