Worked Example
Verified calculation
Given:
- Tag Count = 500
- Update Rate = 2
- Per-Tag Processing Latency = 0.0005
Expected Result:
- CPU Processing Load = 0.5
Engineering Interpretation:
Under the given input conditions, the calculated result is: CPU Processing Load = 0.5.
The actual numerical result is computed by the Runtime engine using the persisted tool definition. The values shown here come from automatically validated test cases.
Formula / Method
cpu processing load = tag count * update rate * per-tag processing latencyCPU Processing Load.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does this calculator calculate?
The SCADA Server CPU Processing Load Estimator calculator estimates CPU Processing Load based on the input parameters you provide
Why is update rate important in this calculation?
update rate is directly proportional to cpu processing load. When you enter update rate in Hz, the calculator uses it in the engineering formula to compute the output
How should I interpret the result cpu processing load?
The calculator outputs cpu processing load. The result is computed directly from the input values using the defined engineering formula
What units should I use for the inputs?
Enter each value in the units shown next to the input field: Update Rate (Hz), Per-Tag Processing Latency (s). Make sure all inputs use the specified units for consistent results
What assumptions does this calculator use?
This calculator uses automatically validated engineering formulas. Results are approximate and should be validated against site-specific conditions, applicable codes, and professional engineering judgment
