The figure below shows the conditions under which the longest response time is achieved. 
 
Figure 18-33  Longest response time 
The (longest) response time is calculated as follows:  
●  2 x process image transfer time of the inputs + 
●  2 x process image transfer time of the outputs + 
●  2 x operating system processing time + 
●  2 x program processing time + 
●  2 x delay of the DP slave frame (including processing in the DP master) + 
●  Delay of the inputs and outputs 
This is equivalent to the sum of twice the cycle time and the delay in the inputs and outputs 
plus twice the DP cycle time.
