Appendix 7 Processing Time
SFC program processing time
This section describes the time required for SFC program processing.
For details on the SFC program, refer to the following.
MELSEC iQ-R Programming Manual (Program Design)
SFC program processing performance
The SFC program execution time can be calculated with the following formula.
• SFC program execution time = (A) + (B) + (C)
*1 For the processing time for each instruction, refer to the following.
MELSEC iQ-R Programming Manual (CPU Module Instructions, Standard Functions/Function Blocks)
The following table lists the types of the SFC processing time (A).
• SFC processing time (A) = (a) + (b) + (c) + (d) + (e) + (f) + (g) + (h)
The following table lists the coefficient values for each processing time.
Item Description
(A) SFC processing time This is the total time shown in the following table.
(B) Operation output processing time for
all steps
This is the total processing time for each instruction used for operation output for all steps in the active status.
(C) Processing time for all transition
conditions
This is the total processing time for each instruction used for transition conditions associated with each step in
the active status.
Item Processing time calculation (unit: s) Description
(a) Active block processing time Active block processing time coefficient
Number of active blocks
This is the system processing time required to execute
active blocks.
(b) Inactive block processing time Inactive block processing time coefficient
Number of inactive blocks
This is the processing time required to execute inactive
blocks.
(c) Nonexistent block processing time Nonexistent block processing time coefficient
Number of nonexistent blocks
This is the system processing time required to execute
blocks that have not been created.
(d) Active step processing time Active step processing time coefficient Number
of active steps
This is the time required to execute active steps.
(e) Active transition processing time Active transition processing time coefficient
Number of active transitions
This is the system processing time required to execute
active transitions.
(f) Transition establishment step
processing time
Transition establishment step processing time
coefficient Number of transitions
This is the time required to turn off active steps when
transitions are established.
(g) SFC END processing time SFC END processing time = SFC END
processing time
This is the system processing time required for SFC END
processing.
(h) Operation output processing time Action processing time coefficient Number of
actions
This is the system processing time required to process
operation outputs.
