Communications time for each Slave:
Time required for each Slave. (Refer to pages 450 to 451.)
Σ (commu-
nications time for each Slave) is the total of the processing of each
Slave in the Network.
MULTIPLE I/O TERMINAL processing time:
3.5 [ms]
Only when Slaves with input, output or mixed I/O of more than 8 bytes
exist.
Explicit message communications time:
0.11 × T
B
+ 0.6 [ms]
Added as delay time when explicit message communications (send or
receive) are used.

COS/Cyclic connection communications time:
(0.05 + 0.008 × S) × TB × n [ms]
Added as delay time when COS/Cyclic connection is used for com-
munications.
S: Total size (bytes) of the COS/Cyclic connection’s input size and
output size.
n: Number of nodes for which COS/Cyclic connections occur at the
same time during one communications cycle.
N: Number of Slaves
Communications
Time for each Slave
The communications time for each Slave is the time required for communica-
tions to be performed with a single Slave.
The following equations show the communications time per Slave (T
RT
) for
each kind of Slave Unit.
