Minimum I/O response time = Input ON delay + Scan time + I/O refresh time
+ Overseeing time + Output ON delay
The PC takes longest to respond when it receives the input signal just after
the input refresh phase of the scan. In this case the CPU does not recognize
the input signal until the end of the next scan. The maximum response time
is thus one scan longer than the minimum I/O response time, except that the
input refresh time would not need to be added in because the input comes
just after it rather than before it.
