The figure below shows the conditions under which the shortest response time is achieved. 
 
Figure 16-31  Shortest response time 
The (shortest) response time is calculated as follows:  
●  1 x process image transfer time of the inputs + 
●  1 x process image transfer time of the outputs + 
●  1 x program processing time + 
●  1 x operating system processing time at the SCCP + 
●  Delay of the inputs and outputs 
The result is equivalent to the sum of the cycle time plus the I/O delay times. 
 
Note 
If the CPU and signal module are not in the central controller, you must add twice the 
runtime of the DP slave frame (including processing in the DP mas
ter).
