kvlada Posted December 27, 2023 Report Share Posted December 27, 2023 Aside from SQL client and Web server, are B10 PLCs having a faster CPU than B5? I'm primarily wondering about HMI screens which have lots of elements and take a long time to render. Would a B10 render a screen faster than B5? And another question: if B5 and B10 have same CPU/Memory/hardware, is it possible to "upgrade" B5 OS to B10 OS later, and have B10 features?

Joseph_F Posted January 12 Report Share Posted January 12 Hello, kvlada! I believe the B10 would be better for HMI loading. This article shows that the B10s have twice as much Ram, which may help load those bulkier elements faster. I don't think you can "upgrade" to B10 features using the B10 OS because of this hardware difference. I couldn't find any information on differences in clock speeds between the two, though. Maybe it's the same? Try running a program on both PLCs that has one instruction: increment an UINT32 every scan. You should get a good idea of how fast both PLCs process information if you compare those numbers after letting it run for a minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
