Operating System Scan Time at the Scan Cycle Checkpoint
The table below lists the operating system scan times at the scan cycle checkpoint of the
CPUs.
*
In the case of I/O modules that are plugged into the central rack or an expansion rack,
the specified value contains the runtime of the I/O module
**
Measured with the IM 460-3 and IM 461-3 with a connection length of 100 m
***
The areas set in HW Config that are written once to the I/O or are read once from the I/O and are therefore consistent.

You have to add the program execution time at the interrupt level to this increase.
If several interrupts are nested, their times must be added together.
