S7-400 cycle and response times
This section describes the decisive factors in the cycle and response times of your of S7-400
station.
You can read out the cycle time of the user program from the relevant CPU using the
programming device (refer to the manual
STEP 7
The examples included show you how to calculate the cycle time.
An important aspect of a process is its response time. How to calculate this factor is
described in detail in this section. When operating a CPU 41x-H as master on the
PROFIBUS DP network, you also need to include the additional DP cycle times in your
calculation (see section Response time (Page 369)).
