Operating system processing time at the scan cycle check point
The table below shows the operating system processing time at the scan cycle checkpoint of
the CPUs. These times are calculated without taking into consideration times for:
• Testing and commissioning routines, e.g. status/controlling of variables or block status
functions
• Transfer and deletion of blocks, compressing user program memory
• Communication
• Writing, reading of the SIMATIC Micro Memory Card with SFC 82 to 84

Extension of the cycle time as a result of nested interrupts
Enabled interrupts also extend cycle time. Details are found in the table below.

The program runtime at interrupt level must be added to this time extension.
