3.4Timing Considerations

 

Without any of the advanced features enabled, the SIMATIC 505±2557

 

module will update all 16 points in less than 6 msec. With all functions

 

enabled for all 16 points, the module will update all 16 channels in less than

 

56 msec. Each function has a specific overhead associated with it and your

 

application should consider the time delays to ensure that there is adequate

 

time allowed for the processing of data.

Timing Constraints

Table 3-7 shows a chart of the overhead required for all 16 channels when

When Using

each of the advanced functions is enabled. Operations such as scaling and

Advanced

offset mode require the greatest amount of time due to the multiplication

Functions

and division in the microcomputer.
