Scan time depends on the block transfer rate over the remote I/O network,
which is asynchronous to the module input sample rate and output update
rate. The block transfer rate is dependent on the controller, program length,
the amount of communication traffic to other modules on the remote I/O
network and the speed (baud rate) of the remote I/O network.
