May I ask, 1: Through 485 communication, DCS can receive instrument signals (both analog and digital) without delay. What is the upper limit on the number of such signals? 2. What is the maximum transmission distance when the number of received instrument signals reaches the limit?
The theoretical distance is 1200 meters. How much data do you want to transmit? That’s about it; it’s more than enough for your needs!
If high real-time performance is required, 485 is not recommended, regardless of the number of measurement points.
①When writing programs for digital inputs/outputs (referring to low-level PLCs and other programmable devices), it is best to store them within one byte; this way, when the upper-level DCS reads them, it can retrieve 8 values at once through a single communication process. It can save communication resources. ②Do not pursue zero latency to an extreme extent, as the DCS controller has to perform other tasks in addition to monitoring this lower-level PLC. Think about it – is it worth investing most of your effort in communication tasks? Moreover, the basic loop scanning time when connected to your DCS is only 1 or 2 seconds. There is no need to require corresponding latency-free operation for the lower-level device. ③Distance is related to the transmission baud rate. There is no clear and direct relationship with the size of the data transmitted. Then I’ll provide you with a basic calculation formula: you can give it a try. But it's better to have a margin. Assume that the communication frequency is 9600 bps, meaning the communication rate is 9600 bits per second, which is equivalent to 9.6 bits per mS. A character generally contains 11 bit informations (start bit, stop bit, 7 or 8 data bits, parity bit). The time required to send or receive a character is approximately 1.145 mS.

How talented Haiyou is. I’ve learned something. What communication method should be used for zero latency? Communications are not allowed to be integrated into the interlocking system… Both real-time performance and error rates are unreliable; don’t even think about it.
How much data can actually be transmitted? Experts, please calculate it
