Communication object limits in CimWay for PcVue 16:
In CimWay, there is no hard-coded limit to the number of communication objects. However, this does not mean that there are no constraints. Each communication object consumes memory, so the real limit depends on the capabilities of the machine used.

With version 7.00, the figures achieved were already considerable, highlighting the importance of taking available hardware resources into account when adding communication objects. It is therefore essential to evaluate memory capacity and system performance before increasing the number of objects.
