7. Add the figures recorded in steps 1 through 6. This sum is the total
loading value (approximate) for the controller in this application.
Compare this figure with the maximum loading value listed in Table AĆ1
for the controller. If the total loading value exceeds the maximum loading
value allowed for the controller, check your calculations for correctness.
If the calculations are correct, take one of the following actions:
H If the total loading value is only slightly higher than the maximum (5 to 10
percent), the configuration may still be acceptable. If possible, try it out
by performing configuration entry (see the system user manual) and then
loading it into a controller of the same type for which the configuration is
intended.
H Change the controller configuration to reduce the loading.
H Use a model of controller that has a greater maximum loading value.
H Place part of the configuration for the control strategy into another
controller.
A.1.2 Redundant Controller Loading
To determine the processor loading for a redundant computing or
interactive controller, perform the following steps:
1. Count the number of general registers defined in the FST Registers
form. For a redundant computing controller, multiply this number by 9
and record the result. For a redundant interactive controller, multiply this
number by 10 and record the result.
2. Count the number of indirect control points (ICPs) defined in the
Analog and Discrete ICP Point sections of configuration. For a
redundant computing controller, multiply this number by 101 and record
the result. For a redundant interactive controller, multiply this number by
130 and record the result.
3. Count the number of direct control points (DCPs) defined in the DCP
Point Definition sections of configuration. For a redundant computing
controller, multiply this number by 139 and record the result. For a
redundant interactive controller, multiply this number by 199 and record
the result.
4. Count the number of occurrences of the following FST functions
defined in the FST section of configuration: BDET, CTR, DT, FFR, FFS,
FIL, GCI, HLV, INT, LL, PDET, TM, and VLIM. Multiply the total number of
occurrences by 12 and record the result.
5. Total the loading values of each FST function defined in the FST
section of configuration (refer to Table AĆ2, beginning on page AĆ7, for
FST function loading values). Record the result.
6. Count the number of functions used in the FST, and record this
number.
