Output Holding Time During System Switching In The Multiplexed Remote I/O Network For Redundant System - Mitsubishi Electric QJ71LP21 Reference Manual

3.3.4 Output holding time during system switching in the multiplexed remote I/O network for
redundant system
3 - 46
In the multiplexed remote I/O network for redundant system, if an error occurs in the
multiplexed remote master station of the control system, the multiplexed remote sub-
master station of the standby system takes over the control of remote I/O stations. At
the time of system switching, remote I/O stations hold the outputs (data).
The output holding time of remote I/O stations during system switching differs with the
reason of system switching. In addition, it is affected by the CPU system switching
time and the switching time between multiplexed remote master station and
multiplexed remote sub-master station.
The following shows the calculation formula of output holding time for each reason for
system switching.
