Cycle and Reaction times
Introduction
In this section, we explain what the cycle time and the response time of the S7-300
consist of.
You can use the programming device to read the cycle time of your user program
(see the STEP 7 online help system).
The example below shows you how to calculate the cycle time.
The response time is more important for the process. In this chapter we will show
you in detail how to calculate the response time.
