Frequency of calling APPL_HandleAbcc()

Anybus Support Embedded
#1

Hello together,
In our system we are using an operating system. The idea is to use one thread to call APPL_HandleAbcc(). Therefore I have some questions:

  1. Are there any considerations to care about, when using an operating system?
  2. At what frequency should the function APPL_HandleAbcc() be called?

Thank you.

Regards
Jakob

There are many considerations when using an operating system. You will need to ensure that APPL_HandleAbcc is scheduled properly – I see that you are aware of this already. This is a hard question to answer. The frequency depends on your device and how it is used. You should be concerned with average and worst-case delay between calls. This function will update data to/from the network. Please note that many Ethernet based networks can have cycle times below 1mSec.
Also, you need to maintain data consistency.
