Cycle load time due to FDL connections
The calculation of the cycle load time for FDL connections is largely dependent on the time
required to execute the program blocks (AG_SEND, AG_RECV) on the S7400 CPU.
The following table lists the cycle load times of the available FCs in milliseconds. A distinction
is made between the statuses "job completed" and "job active". The entries relate to the run
time in the CPU 417 (6ES7 417-4XL04-0AB0 - see Table 1-1 Use with the current CPU types
(Page 13)).
