Data Link I/O Response Time Section 8-3
Note 1. Use the above equations only if only one Controller Link Unit is mounted
on the PLC. If other CPU Bus Units are mounted on the PLC, obtain the
refresh times for each CPU Bus Unit and add to the above equations.
2. The execution of some items takes precedence over data link area refresh-
ing. For example, data link area refreshing will not take place during exe-
cution of the SEND(192), RECV(193), or FAL(006) instruction.
8-3-3 Calculation Example
The data links of the Controller Link Unit require a slight time delay from the
time the data link area of one node is changed until this change is reflected in
the data link area at another node. This time delay is called the data link I/O
response time. The following is a calculation example of the maximum and
minimum I/O response times for the system configuration shown below.
The data link I/O response time depends on the communications cycle time,
input ON delay, output ON delay, and the cycle times of the PLCs involved.
The values are detailed below.

Input ON Delay The input ON delay is the time it takes for an input device to turn ON an input
to the PLC after receiving an input signal. In this system the input ON delay is
1.5 ms.
Output ON Delay The output ON delay is the time it takes for an output device to turn ON an
output signal after receiving an output from the PLC. In this system the output
ON delay is 15 ms.
Cycle Times The cycle time of the PLC at node #1 is 25 ms.
The cycle time of the PLC at node #7 is 10 ms.
