Remote I/O Communications Performance Section 5-3
■ Reference Example
The following table shows the calculation results for the maximum I/O
response time for a Word Slave Unit with the maximum number of nodes and
a CPU Unit cycle time of 1 ms.
(With message communications)
Bit Slave Units
■ Formula for the Maximum I/O Response Time for a Bit Slave Unit
TIN: Input Slave Unit input delay time
TNetCyc: Communications cycle time
TNetBitIn: Time allotted for bit input frames in communications cycle time
TNetCycInt: Interrupt processing time
TCrmInMax: Maximum input processing time at Master Unit
Tcyc: CPU Unit cycle time
TCrmOutMax:Maximum output processing time at Master Unit
TNetOut: Time allotted for output frames in communications cycle time
TOUT: Output Slave Unit output delay time
