Reaction Times

To determine the system reaction time of any control chain, you must add up the

reaction times of all of components of the safety chain.

System Reaction Time

System Reaction Time = Sensor Reaction Time + Logix System Reaction Time

+ Actuator Reaction Time

IMPORTANT The Reset Counters button on the diagnostics tab resets only the counters shown

in the 1715 I/O module profiles.
It does not reset the counters displayed within the ControlLogix Add-On
Instructions.
This diagnostic information is populated by values retrieved from 1715 output
modules. Equivalent input module diagnostic data is made available by the
Add-On Instructions.
