What kind of network delays can I expect using X-Link?

Without knowing the specifics of your gateway configuration and the performance of each network to which the X-Link is connected, it is virtually impossible to provide a meaningful answer. In most cases, one of the two networks is slower that the other. Further latencies can be introduced by the PLC, MMI, problems with the bus or connections. X-Link performance may also vary according to the number of mappings it must resolve. In general terms, the X-Link operation can be described as transparent since it is almost always the fastest component in the system (500% faster than a PLC-5).
