PV memory configuration

Hi,

Can someone explain to me the following?

I’m using the CP0484 PLC, which has 2GB of memory available.
If I go to Physical view → PLC → configuration → pv memory, I can configure 4GB of PVs.

How does the PLC handle this?
I always raise the values slightly if they fall out their range, but I’m not sure if this is the right way?

shouldn’t this be limited to 2GB and why do I have to modify this myself?

thanks in advance

Hello,

the X20CP0484 has various memory types onboard.

2 GB Flash
256 MB DRAM
64 KB FRAM (non-volatile)

The volatile variables share the DRAM with all modules loaded from the flash, e.g., the operating system, driver, or application.

I would initially keep the default value for the variable memory. If it’s not enough, you can always increase it.

Regards
Stephan
