Cycle and reaction times 5.2 Cycle time

Note

The use of CBA with cyclical PROFINET interconnections requires the use of switches to maintain the performance data. 100-Mbit full-duplex operation is mandatory with cyclical PROFINET interconnections.

The following graphic shows the configuration that was used for the measurements.
