7.3.3  Calculation of Slave CPU Synchronous Delay Time
In a slave CPU synchronous arrangement, a command from the master is processed as in the following flow, and trans-
mitted to the slave side. 
Here, the time between c and f is constant. 
This delay time is referred to as “Slave CPU Synchronous Delay Time” and is calculated as follows:
[Setting Example]
c
Execute master side application
Update output data
↓
d
SVB module processing
Slave CPU synchronous delay time
↓
e
MECHATROLINK transmission
↓
f
Execute slave side application
Retrieve input data
Slave CPU synchronous delay time = Master H scan cycle × 2 + MECHATROLINK cycle
Master side H scan setting: 4 ms
MECHATROLINK communication cycle setting: 1 ms
↓
Slave CPU synchronous delay time = 4 ms 
× 2 + 1 ms
= 9 ms
