Computing the Cycle Time Section 10-4
Parallel Processing with Asynchronous Memory Access (CJ1-H CPU Units Only)
Program Execution Cycle The program execution cycle time depends on the following conditions.
• Type and number of instructions in the user program (in all cyclic tasks
that are executed during a cycle, and within interrupt tasks for which the
execution conditions have been satisfied).
• Type and number of Basic I/O Units
• Type and number of Special I/O Units, CJ-series CPU Bus Units, and type
of services being executed.
• Specific servicing for the following Units
• Data link refreshing and the number of data link words for Controller
Link and SYSMAC LINK Units
• Remote I/O for DeviceNet (Master) Units and the number of remote
I/O words
• Use of protocol macros and the largest communications message
• Socket services for specific control bits for Ethernet Units and the num-
ber of send/receive words
• Fixed cycle time setting in the PLC Setup
• File access in file memory, and the amount of data transferred to/from file
memory
• Fixed peripheral servicing time in the PLC Setup
The program execution cycle time is the total time required for the PLC to per-
form the five operations shown in the following tables.
Cycle time = (1) + (2) + (3) + (4) + (5)
Peripheral Servicing Cycle
Time
The peripheral servicing execution cycle time depends on the following condi-
tions.
• Type and number of Special I/O Units, CJ-series CPU Bus Units, and type
of services being executed.
• Type and frequency of event servicing requiring communications ports.
• Use of peripheral and RS-232C ports
