14-1-3 Packet Interval (RPI) Accuracy
The send processing delay occurs in the built-in EtherNet/IP port when data packets are sent once
each packet interval (RPI). This delay varies with the RPI error shown in the following graph, so the
send processing delay time is the maximum value for each RPI.
0.5 ms to 1,000 ms (NX701 CPU Unit), 2 ms to 1,000 ms (NX1P2 CPU Unit),1
ms to 1,000 ms (NJ-series CPU Unit)*1
1,000 to 10,000 ms
*1 RPI is 10 ms to 1,000 ms on NJ-series CPU Units with unit versions 1.00 to 1.02.
