Remote I/O Communications Performance Section 5-3
Example 3: Basic Unit (16 Outputs) + Expansion Unit (16 Inputs)
The Unit is treated the same as a Contact I/O Unit. With Contact I/O Units,
only the flags for the input node are allocated. Therefore, in this case as well,
only the flags for input node m are allocated.
For a Basic Unit (16 outputs) and an Expansion Unit (16 inputs) at node
address 0, the flags for IN0 are used.
Example 4: Basic Unit (16 Outputs) + Expansion Unit (16 Outputs)
Flags for output node m are allocated.
For a Basic Unit (16 outputs) and an Expansion Unit (16 outputs) at node
address 0, the flags for OUT0 are used.
5-3 Remote I/O Communications Performance
This section describes the performance of remote I/O communications in a
CompoNet Network.
5-3-1 I/O Response Time
This section describes the minimum and maximum I/O response times in a
CompoNet Network.
The I/O response time is the time required for an input signal from an Input
Slave Unit to be processed by the Master Unit PLC until it is output to an Out-
put Slave Unit.
