Hello,

Does anyone have somerecent performance figures for WinAC RTX.
I know of course that those are influenced by several things like Processor speed/type, Settings, PC Hardware and Software configuration etc etc.

I found some (old) figuresfor WinAC RTX 2005 on a P4 2,4 Ghz.

Befehlsbearbeitung (auf P4, 2,4 GHz)
für Bitbearbeitung, typ.
für Festpunktarithmetik, typ.
für Gleitpunktarithmetik, typ.

0,004 µs
0,003 µs
0,004 µs

Still faster thanthe newest319PN/DP... although Irealise it's an indication and they are not as "hard" as the figures of a "hard" PLC.

I'm just curious how fast WinAC 2008 RTX is nowadays, because is also can work on dual core processors etc. (can be an advantage if it really uses buth cores)

It would also be nice to have some idea about the performance of WinAC MP and how it performs on the Embedded PC's

I canbe a good selling point, I think.

But....I can't find any figures on the website or manuals...
or maybe I'm not looking at the right place

Thanks in advance!

Ronald

Update...I found some figures on the mall about the S7 mEC with XP embedded and a Core2duo processor and WinAC RTX 2008 and they are the same as the figures I put above for WinAC RTX 2005 and a P4.

Still no figures for WinAC MP...

This is due to the Interval Zero technology parts as far as I know, but I guess they're working on a solution.
	Have Fun! TomDeWou

The other core can handle the Windows/HMI tasks. In Shared mode, unused resources from the "WinAC" core can also be used by windows. For all details: http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/27153991 I don't know why the default configuration is "Dedicated Mode" as "Shared Mode" looks more efficient. But I might have some drawbacks that are not mentioned here. Who knows? Regards, Ronald
