10.Determine the share of the maximum inhibit time for I/O classes > 15 that is required by 
the minimum I/O retention time (T
P15_OD
): 
T
P15_OD
 = 50 ms + min. I/O retention time [2] 
 
P15_OD
 > T
P15_HW
, stop the calculation here. Possible remedies are shown below the 
wing example calculation. Make appropriate changes and then restart the calculation 
 
11.Using the information in Chapter Performance values for link-up and update 
(Page 130), calculate the share of the maximum inhibit time for priority classes > 15 that 
is required by the user program (T
P15_AWP
). 
 
P15_AWP
 > T
P15_HW
, stop the calculation here. Possible remedies are shown below the 
llowing example calculation. Make appropriate changes and then restart the calculation 
 
12.The recommended value for the maximum inhibit time for priority classes > 15 is now 
obtained from: 
T
P15 = 
MAX (T
P15_AWP
, T
P15_OD
) [3] 
Example of the calculation of T

In the next steps, we take an existing system configuration and define the maximum 
permitted time span of an update, during which the operating system does not execute any 
programs or I/O updates. 
There are two DP master systems and one IO subsystem: DP master system_1 is connected 
via the DP interface of the CPU, and DP master system_2 is connected to the CPU via an 
external DP master interface. The IO subsystem is connected via the integrated Ethernet 
interface. 
1.  Based on the bus parameters in STEP 7: 
T
TR_1
 = 25 ms 
T
TR_2
 = 30 ms 
T
DP_UM_1
 = 100 ms 
T
DP_UM_2
 = 80 ms 
2.  Based on the configuration in STEP 7: 
T
max_Akt  
= 8 ms 
T
PN_UM 
= 110 ms 
3.  Based on the technical data of the DP slaves used: 
T
SLAVE_UM_1
 = 30 ms 
T
SLAVE_UM_2
 = 50 ms
