Remote I/O Communications Performance Section 5-3
• TIN: Input Slave Unit input delay time
For details on input delay times for individual Slave Units, refer to
the input specifications for individual Slave Units in the CompoNet
Slave Unit Operation Manual (Cat. No. W457).
• TNetBitIn: Time allotted for bit Input frames in communications cycle time
• TCrmInMax: Maximum input processing time at Master Unit
Note Communications Mode 8
M = (Number of Word Input Slave Units x 0.625
µs) + [{(Number of
Bit Input Slave Units × 7)
÷ 8} × 0.375 µs] + [(Number of Word Out-
put Slave Units or Word Input Slave Units, whichever is greater) +
(Number of Bit Output Slave Units and Bit Input Slave Units, which-
ever is greater)
× 0.5 µs]
M Calculation Example
Conditions
M = (16 × 0.625 µs) + (1 × 0.375 µs) + {(16 + 16) × 0.5 µs}
≅ 0.027 ms
■ Reference Example
The following table shows the calculation results for the maximum I/O
response time for a Bit Slave Unit with the maximum number of nodes and a
CPU Unit cycle time of 1 ms.
