Client Count Effects on Performance

Is there a limit to the number of client applications that can connect to the TOP Server?

There is no set limit, but there are practical limits based on the particular system design. Each node requesting information will cause some amount of resource usage. The resource usage can be monitored in the Windows Task Manager for server_runtime and the CPU as nodes are added. If all nodes are requesting the same tags, the change will be minor. If different nodes are requesting different tags, the impact will depend on the actual tags being addressed from the PLC and the increased number of tags.

The same data requested by two or more clients/nodes does not change the requests to the PLC.
