User' s Manual 0300215-03 Rev. A
The module update time is defined as the time required for the module to sample and
convert the input signals of all enabled input channels and provide the resulting data
values to the processor. The module update time is equal to the slowest channel step
response.

6.7.1 Calculating Module Update Time

To determine the module update time, locate the channel with the slowest step response,
this will be the approximate module update time.
Example:
Channel 0: +/- 10 Vdc with 60 Hz filter
Channel 1: 4 to 20 mA with 28.5 Hz filter
Channel 2: 4 to 20 mA with 300 Hz filter
Channel 3: 4 to 20 mA with 28.5 Hz filter
Module Update Time
= slowest step response = 28.5Hz or 108 ms
