Remote I/O Communications Performance Section 5-3
Conditions
O = 16 × 0.25 µs = 0.004 ms
■ Reference Example
The following table shows the calculation results for the minimum I/O
response time for a Word Slave Unit with the maximum number of nodes and
a CPU Unit cycle time of 1 ms.
Bit Slave Units
■ Formula for the Minimum I/O Response Time for a Bit Slave Unit
TIN: Input Slave Unit input delay time
TNetCycInt: Interrupt processing time
TCrmInMin: Minimum input processing time at Master Unit
Tcyc: CPU Unit cycle time
TCrmOutMin: Minimum output processing time at Master Unit
TNetOut: Time allotted for output frames in communications cycle time
TOUT: Output Slave Unit output delay time
