Remote I/O Communications Characteristics

Section 8-1

Minimum I/O Response Time

The minimum I/O response time occurs when the Slave’s I/O refreshing is executed just after the input signal is received by the DeviceNet Unit and the output signal is output at the beginning of the next I/O refresh cycle.

TRT-OUT: Output Slave’s communications time/Slave (See page 191.)

The PC’s cycle time

The PC’s DeviceNet Unit refresh time (See page 192.)

The minimum I/O response time (TMIN) is the total of the following terms:

TMIN = TIN + TRT-IN + TPC + TRF + TRT-OUT + TOUT

Note 1. Refer to the CompoBus/D (DeviceNet) Slaves Operation Manual (W347) for details on the Input and Output Slaves’ delay times.

2.Refer to Refresh Time on page 192 and to the PC’s Operation Manual for details on the PC’s cycle time.

8-1-3 More than One Master in Network

The following equation shows the remote I/O communications cycle time (TRM) when there is more than one master in the network. An example for two masters is used.

First, the network is divided into two groups: Master A and the slaves in remote I/O communications with it and master B and the slaves in remote I/O communications with it.
