3.9 Fieldbus I/O Response Performance

As mentioned previously, respond times for fieldbus I/O can vary and depend on several factors. The values in this section are shown for reference not for guaranteed performance.

Modification Jig

Signals with various pulse widths (every 5 msec) were input to the standard I/O input and the input module of the fieldbus I/O at 1 Hz. For 10 minutes (600 seconds), pulse widths of the received signals were measured at 125 kbps and 500 kbps.

Result

500kbps: The input devices responded to 25-msec pulse.

125kbps: The input devices responded to 30-msec pulse.
