Meh. I don't trust that 100% stat in the ENBT. Flaky junk. I have to admit that I jerk them out at first opportunity. The EN2T is much better.
Things to try in the meantime:
-
Run your concurrency up on your drivers. You have ~128 CIP connections to work with. Consider 12-ish for each of the seven CPUs.
-
Split UDTs out of your AOIs as described in the linked topic, if practical.
-
Anything else in the AOIs that is display-only or configuration or tuning, move to a leased group or scan class.

And I would be remiss if I failed to mention the option to use class one connectionsâI/O or producer/consumerâvia my module:

Class one CIP connections seem to be a much lighter load on the PLC and comm cards even with blistering RPI settings.

Only reason I went looking into this is because the citect driver that was also looking at the same PLC kept crashing. AFAIK this hasnât occurred on the live system, but I am cautious of it. Thanks for your suggestions on how to improve things. Modifying the polling to be a bit smarter is probably the most practical option moving forward.
