Performance
Other
The times required for the MC Unit to transfer M codes, present positions, and Zone Flag status to the CPU
Unit are given in the following table. The time will increase if more tasks are used or if circular interpolation,
traverse operations, or linear interpolation is being performed.
Data
M code (without zones)
Present positions (without zones) 5 to 14 ms
Zone Flags
The above times assume that the CPU Unit cycle time is 2 ms and that the Teaching Box is not connected.
