3 requests per second (per client) - That is, 50 gauges

can be scanned (level record) in 7 seconds per CIU
Prime.
This value varies depending on the network topology as
follows:

1. Impact of enabling the routing:

a. Performance reduces if the routing in

SmartRadar FlexLine is enabled.
Protocol tunnel request rate for the ENRAF interface per
client (CIU Prime field port or Engauge tool) 2. Impact of the access points:

a. Performance increases when all the

SmartRadar FlexLine field devices in
a single access point are mapped in a
single field port of the CIU Prime.

b. Performance decreases when the

SmartRadar FlexLine field devices in
a single access point are mapped in
multiple field ports of the CIU Prime.

c. Performance decreases when the

access point has any other additional
device other than the 13 SmartRadar
FlexLine field devices.

d. Performance decreases when the

SmartRadar FlexLine field devices are
configured at reporting period which is
less than 10 seconds.

3. Impact of the number of clients (CIU Prime field

port or Engauge tool)

a. Performance increases by 50% for
