Reducing the response time with direct I/O access

Reducing the Response Time
You can reach faster response times with direct access to the I/O in your user program, e.g.
with
• L PIB or
• T PQW
you can partially avoid the response times described above.
Note
You can also achieve fast response times by using process interrupts (see next chapter).

Introduction
This section gives you an overview of how to calculate the cycle/response time.
Cycle time
1. Determine the user program runtime with the help of the instruction list.
2. Multiply the calculated value by the CPU-specific factor from the table
3. Calculate and add the process image transfer time. Corresponding guide values are
4. Add the processing time at the scan cycle checkpoint. Corresponding guide values are
5. Include the extensions as a result of testing and commissioning functions. These values
6. cycle time
Extension of the cycle time as a result of interrupts and communication load
100 / (100 - configured communication load in %)
1. Multiply the cycle time by the factor as in the formula above.
2. Using the Instruction List, calculate the runtime of the program sections that hardware
