See Inken's full question and situation over here:

> Hi together, I have a Siemens S7-1500 and facing some overload issues. Within the plc I have several DBs with similar structure (including several strings) I want to read. But even if I enable only one DB I already se 160 requests: When I enable more than one DB the request number increases and the overload shows more than 100%. When I disable the strings within the DB the reqesut count is decreasing extremely. So I guess the strings are the reason for the high number of requests…
