Figure 7-6 Shortest response time
Calculation
The (shortest) reaction time is made up as follows:
• 1 x process image transfer time for the inputs +
• 1 x process image transfer time for the outputs +
• 1 x program processing time +
• 1 x operating system processing time at the SCC +
• Delay in the inputs and outputs
The result is equivalent to the sum of the cycle time plus the I/O delay times.
