Maximum Cache

The following global parameter is used to determine the maximum number of caches available on a project or port basis.

Note: <PORT>_MAX_CACHE has a higher precedence than does the S90TCP_MAX_CACHE.

  • S90TCP_MAX_CACHE
  • <PORT>_MAX_CACHE

S90TCP_MAX_CACHE

For Project
Purpose To set the maximum number of caches for the project.
Value 0 - 2000 (New projects can be configured for up to 2000 caches; existing projects can be configured for up to 1024 caches.)
Default Value 1024

Use the global parameter S90TCP_MAX_CACHE to change the cache size for the project from its default size.

<PORT>_MAX_CACHE

For Port
Purpose To set the maximum number of caches for a single port.
Value 0 - 2000 (New projects can be configured for up to 2000 caches; existing projects can be configured for up to 1024 caches.)
Comments <PORT> is the name of the S90 Triplex port to be configured such as S90TRI0, S90TRI1, etc. The value assigned to the global is the maximum port size. If a value larger then the maximum is specified, the largest allowed value will be used.
Default Value 1024

Use the global parameter <PORT>_MAX_CACHE to change the cache size for a specific port from its default size. Where <PORT> is the number of the port; for example S90TR10_MAX_CACHE.

Note: In some configurations, supporting a larger message size may be beyond the capability of Series 90-70 (as it is configured with the existing PLC application). This is more likely to occur where the IC697CMM741 Ethernet cards are used for communications on the Series 90-70. If communications becomes unstable as a result of using the larger message size, it is recommended that the application continue to use a cache size of 1024 bytes.

When confirming that the number of concurrent messages chosen is compatible with the PLC application, be sure to validate the application with the Series 90-70 in run mode running the complete PLC application.
