5.5 I/O Signal Timings
The maximum response time after a given control signal is turned ON to operate the ROBO Cylinder using the
PLC’s sequence program, until a response (status) signal is turned, is expressed by the formula below:
Maximum response time (msec) = Yt + Xt + 2 + Command processing time (operation time, etc.)
Yt: Master station
o slave station transmission delay time
Xt: Slave station
o master station delay time
For the master station
o slave station transmission delay time (Yt) and slave station o master station delay time
(Xt), refer to the operation manuals for the PROFIBUS-DP master unit and the PLC in which the master unit is
installed.
