Calculating Throughput
The 1747-ASB module throughput is determined by more than the
1747-ASB module itself. The input and output module delays, scanner
scan time, and processor scan time contribute to throughput as well.
Discrete I/O Throughput without Block Transfers Present
The information in this section is used to calculate the discrete
throughput of the 1747-ASB module if both conditions are true:
•
There are no block transfer mapped I/O modules in the
1747-ASB chassis.
•
There are no RIO block transfers occurring on the RIO link to
any chassis.
If RIO block transfers are present on the RIO link or if the 1747-ASB
chassis has block transfer mapped I/O modules, you must use the
Discrete I/O Throughput with Block Transfers Present section.
The formula to calculate the maximum 1747-ASB module discrete I/O
throughput without block transfers present is:
T
dm-nbt
= 2T
ps
+ 2T
RIO
+ 2T
bp
+ T
SNo
+ T
SNi
+ T
id
+ T
od
+ 10ms

dm-nbt
= The maximum 1747-ASB module discrete throughput
without block transfers in milliseconds (ms)
To calculate throughput, substitute values for the variables in the
formula above. Locate these values in the following documents:
(1) The value of 10ms is for PLC-5/11, -5/20, -5/30, -5/40, and -5/60 processors only. For all other processors the
value is not used.
