Message delivery time is approximately 0.2 of power system cycle (at 128 kbps) multiplied
by the number of bridges between the origin and destination. Dual-ring configuration
effectively reduces the maximum communications distance by a factor of two.
In this configuration, the following delivery times are expected (at 128 kbps) when both
rings are healthy.
Table 9: Delivery times for healthy rings
If one ring is broken (say TX2-RX2), then the delivery times are as follows.
Table 10: Delivery times for rings with break in TX2-RX2
Path Delivery time
IED 1 to IED 2 0.2 of a power system cycle
IED 1 to IED 3 0.4 of a power system cycle
IED 1 to IED 4 0.2 of a power system cycle
IED 2 to IED 3 0.2 of a power system cycle
IED 2 to IED 4 0.4 of a power system cycle
IED 3 to IED 4 0.2 of a power system cycle
Path Delivery time
IED 1 to IED 2 0.2 of a power system cycle
