5.4.4 Effects of multicast communication on RT communication
Notice
If PROFINET IO RT communication is operated at the same time as broadcast
(BC) or multicast (MC) in an Industrial Ethernet subnet, RT frames may be
delayed by long BC frames or MC frames.
These frames can, for example, be generated by the communications FCs
AG_SEND or AG_RECV.
With certain constellations, this can lead to a PROFINET RT communication abort.
The factors that influence this are the switch configurations (“switch depth”), the
update time and the MC/BC frame lengths.
For more detailed information on the influencing factors and possible solutions,
refer to:

5.5 Characteristic data for PROFINET CBA
The CP supports PROFINET CBA interconnections between PROFINET CBA
components.
The “typical” values specified below are values that cause the SIMATIC iMap
configuration tool to generate a warning if they are exceeded; it is nevertheless
possible that the configuration can be operated.
If one of the limit values specified for the interconnections is exceeded, they
cannot be downloaded to the module. When the interconnections are downloaded,
the SIMATIC iMap configuration tool generates an error message to this effect. If a
limit value relating to the number or size of components is exceeded, the CPU will
not change to RUN!
