Calculating the cycle time
Introduction
The cycle time is derived from the sum of the following influencing factors.
Process image update
The table below shows the time a CPU requires to update the process image (process
image transfer time). The times specified might be prolonged as a result of interrupts or CPU
communication. The process image transfer time is calculated as follows:
Table 5-2
Formula for calculating the process image (PI) transfer time
The transfer time of the process image is calculated as follows:
Base load K
+ number of bytes in PI in module rack 0 x (A)
+ number of bytes in PO in module rack 1 to 3 x (B)
+ number of words in PO via DP x (D)
+ number of words in PO via PROFINET x (P)
= Transfer time for the process image
