IMPORTANT
The Reset Counters button on the diagnostics tab resets only the
counters that are shown in the 1715 I/O module profiles.
It does not reset the counters that are displayed within the
ControlLogix Add-On Instructions.
The values retrieved from 1715 output modules populate the
diagnostic information. Equivalent input module diagnostic data
is made available by the
Add-On Instructions.
To determine the system reaction time of any control chain, you must add up
the reaction times of all of components of the safety chain.
System Reaction Time
System Reaction Time = Sensor Reaction Time + Logix System Reaction Time
+ Actuator Reaction Time

Logix System Reaction Time
The following sections provide information on calculating the Logix System
Reaction Time for a simple input-logic-output chain and for a more complex
application using produced/consumed safety tags in the logic chain.
