Communications Time
Regardless of whether SECS is used or not, take the time required for processing between the host
device and Amplifier Units into account when designing the system.
Communication time calculation formula (unit: ms)
Read: 150.5 × (number of pages) + 6.1
For write, same writing: 468.6 × (number of pages) + 80.3
Byte write: 468.6 × (number of pages/8) + 229.9
TAT calculation formula (units: ms)
TAT = command and response transmission time + communication time
The command and response transmission time differs depending on the number of characters
sent and the communications conditions.
This calculation applies to continuous transmission in which the Controller uses no spaces
between command characters.
Example of TAT calculation:
Number of command characters: A; number of response characters: B
Baud rate: 9600 bps, data length: 8 bits, non parity, 1 stop bit
Time Description
Communications time This is the time required for communication between an ID Tag and the CIDRW Head.
TAT This is the time required for processing at the Amplifier Unit, seen from the host device.
