Link scan time
The following is the formula to calculate the link scan time. (When "Link Scan Mode" under "Supplementary Cyclic Settings" in
"Application Settings" is "Sequence Scan Asynchronous")
LS = (Np + (Ns Ka) + Kb + Kc + Kd + Ke) 1000 + Ni 0.02 + St [ms]

Kc: Maximum transient processing
time
Kd: Maximum data link processing
time when the station is disconnected
from or returned to the network

160 + 60 number of slave stations
set in "Network Configuration

(0 when transient transmission is not
performed)
■When the firmware version of the master station is "05" or later
Number of disconnected stations 3500
■When the firmware version of the master station is "04" or earlier
9000 + Number of ports used in the switching hub 3000 (9000 when the switching hub is not used)
High-speed
■When the master station is a
system other than a redundant
system
The value changes depending on
whether "Data Link Error Station
Setting" under "I/O Maintenance
Settings" in "Application Settings" is
"Clear" or "Hold".
• When "Clear" is set: 18.5
• When "Hold" is set: 9.75
■When the master station is a
redundant system
