Figure 19-8 Shortest response time
Calculation
The (shortest) response time is calculated as follows:
● 1 x process image transfer time of the inputs +
● 1 x process image transfer time of the outputs +
● 1 x program processing time +
● 1 x operating system processing time at the SCCP +
● Delay of the inputs and outputs
The result is equivalent to the sum of the cycle time plus the I/O delay times.
Note
If the CPU and signal module are not in the central unit, you will have to add twice the delay
time of the DP slave frame (including processing in the DP master).
