Update time for process image partitions
Estimating update time for process image partitions
The update time of the process image partitions depends on the volume of assigned central
and distributed I/O module data.
You can estimate the update time using the following formula:
Base load for process image update
Number of words in the process image x copy time for central I/O
Number of words in the process image via DP x copy time for PROFIBUS I/O
Number of words in the process image via PROFINET x copy time for PROFINET I/O
