Reaction Times To determine the system reaction time of any control chain, you must add up 
the reaction times of all of components of the safety chain.
System Reaction Time
System Reaction Time = Sensor Reaction Time + Logix System Reaction Time 
+ Actuator Reaction Time
Figure 67 - System Reaction Time
Logix System Reaction Time
The following sections provide information on calculating the Logix System 
Reaction Time for a simple input-logic-output chain and for a more complex 
application using produced/consumed safety tags in the logic chain.
IMPORTANT
The Reset Counters button on the diagnostics tab resets only the 
counters that are shown in the 1715 I/O module profiles.
It does not reset the counters that are displayed within the 
ControlLogix Add-On Instructions.
The values retrieved from 1715 output modules populate the 
diagnostic information. Equivalent input module diagnostic data 
is made available by the 
Add-On Instructions.
