Appendix 1
Calculate the minimum processing time for each function using the expressions below. Note that the processing time
may become longer depending on the load factor on the network (how congested the line is), the window size of each
connected device, the number of connections, and system configuration. Use the values obtained from the
expressions as a guideline for the processing time when communications are performed in only one connection.

[Calculation example]
The time between the E71 sending 1017-word data of a binary code and it completing the sending when the
E71 communicates with another E71 in TCP/IP with the "Procedure Exist" method (unit: ms)
Assume that the scan time on the sending side is 10ms, and the scan time on the receiving side is 8ms.
• 28.6561 (ms) 10 + 7.3 + (0.0033 1017) + 8
