APPENDICES
(2) Performance of the slave function
(a) When mounted with a programmable controller CPU
1) Request message processing time [unit: ms]
The request message processing time is the time from when the QJ71MB91 
receives a request message from the master until it sends a response 
message after completion of the requested processing.
 Tsl = Ttq + Ta + Ks1 + Ks2 n1 + St n2 +Ttr + Ti 2 + Gt
