12 Defining the minimum cycle time of the PLC project
This chapter will inform you on how the minimum cycle time of the PLC project can be
defined.
The calculation of the minimum cycle time is divided into the following steps:
1. Calculating the total access time T

12.1 Calculating the total access time to the peripheral devices (T
Correction
)
The cycle times depend on the number of configured field devices and the IPC hardware
used.
Example
Configuration Access time with processor
ATOM 1.6 GHz
CAN master (Logic) 80 μs
per axis (Motion) 60 μs
Access times Industrial PC (ATOM 1.6 GHz) with 9 Motion axes
Access time CAN master
+ access time 9 Motion axes
80 μs
540 μs
= total access time 620 μs
