| V2.04.46 | 03/23/2004 |
| ++ |
New Write Optimization "Write with Priority, Chronological Order is Preserved (default)". If an item shall be written, the running read job is brought to termination. The write job is then executed. The Server checks, if an item from the same data range (e.g. a data block) shall be written. If yes, the item is written. If not, the data range is directly read. Then the normal read cycle continues. With this write optimization, reaction time for write jobs is optimized. |

Example: DB5,W0 + 5 (DbOffset) = DB10.W0 DwOffset: Changing the start address of an item is possible: As soon as the desired Offset is written to the item DwOffset, the values is added to the start address of the item Example: DB5,W0 + 4 (DwOffset) = DB5.W4 Note! Both offsets affect all added items |
