Shortest Response Time
The following figure shows you the conditions under which the shortest response
time is obtained.
Figure 7-2
Calculation
The (shortest) response time consists of the following:
1
process image transfer time for the inputs +
1
operating system processing time +
1
program scanning time +
1
process image transfer time for outputs +
Execution time of S7 timer
Delay of the inputs and outputs
This corresponds to the sum of the cycle time and the delay of the inputs and
outputs.

Delay of the inputs
The status of the observed input changes immediately
PII
before reading in the PII. The change in the input
signal is therefore taken account of in the PII.
Operating

The change in the input signal is processed

by the user program here.
program
The response of the user program to the input signal
