Chapter 8          Using SIL 2 Add-On Instructions with 1715 Redundant I/O Modules
If you are not using COS, the worst-case reaction time from input screw 
terminal to output screw terminal is equal to 210 ms plus the following:
- Input RPI
- Output RPI
- Add-On Instruction Module RPI/2
- SIL 2 Task Period x 2
- SIL 2 Task Watchdog x 2
If you are using COS, the worst-case reaction time from input screw terminal 
to output screw terminal is equal to 270 ms plus the following:
- Output RPI
- Add-On Instruction Module RPI/2
- SIL 2 Task Period x 2
- SIL 2 Task Watchdog x 2
Using the Add-On 
Instruction Data Tags in an 
Application Program
The following illustrations provide basic examples of how the 
Requested_Output_Data tag and the Reconciled_Input_Data tag could be used 
in program logic. Data is written to the requested output and read from the 
reconciled input, while the raw data in the module-defined input and output 
tags is ignored.
