5.2.5.2 Worst case response time
The worst-case response time is the maximum time required for switching off the actuator in the event of an
error.
Fig.14: Worst case response time
It is assumed that a signal change takes place at the sensor, and that this is passed to the input. A
communication error occurs just at the moment when the signal is to be passed to the communication
interface. This is detected by the logic once the watchdog time of the communication connection has
elapsed. This information should then be passed on to the output, resulting in a further communication error.
This fault is detected at the output once the watchdog time has elapsed, resulting in shutdown.
This results in the following formula for the worst-case response time:
