The interrupt OB processing time must be added to this extended time. The times required 
for multiple nested interrupt/error OBs are added accordingly. 
5.2.3  Different cycle times 
Overview 
The cycle time (T
cyc
) length is not the same in every cycle. The figure below shows different 
cycle times T
cyc1
 and T
cyc2
. T
cyc2
 is longer than T
cyc1
, because the cyclically executed OB1 is 
interrupted by a time-of-day interrupt OB (here: OB 10).
