Appendix 2 Calculating Safety Response Time for
System Connected to Multiple Safety
CPUs
This section describes the maximum value of safety response time for a system connected to multiple Safety CPUs using the
CC-Link IE Field Network. As described as a line topology, however, calculation is possible by methods described here
regardless of the connection methods such as line topology, star topology, or ring topology. For normal values, refer to the
following.
MELSEC iQ-R CC-Link IE Field Network User's Manual (Application)
The maximum value of safety response time will be the sum of (a) to (c) of the following.
Explanations of symbols used for this chapter
• LS (1): CC-Link IE Field Network link scan time of Network Number 1
• LS (2): CC-Link IE Field Network link scan time of Network Number 2
• LS (3): CC-Link IE Field Network link scan time of Network Number 3
• DT1, DT2: Response time of a sensor or output-target control device. Check and add the following response time of the
device used.
Item Maximum value
(a) Input device response time DT1
(b) Safety data transmission time (maximum value) Transmission time of CC-Link IE Field Network from safety input to safety
output
(c) Output device response time DT2
