Table Total
Duty Cycle The duty cycle is the time on divided by the total time, and is
essentially the percent of time that the I/O channel is active
(maximum power consumption).
Duty Cycle = Active time
÷ (Active time + Inactive time)
For example, if a Discrete Output is active for 15 seconds out of every 60
seconds:
Duty Cycle = 15 seconds
÷ (15 seconds + 45 seconds) = 15 seconds ÷ 60 seconds = 0.25
