Tested El2904 Devices; Fig. 18 Worst Case Response Time - Beckhoff EL2904 Operating Instructions Manual

Fig. 18: Worst case response time
It is assumed that a signal change takes place at the sensor, and that this is passed to the input. A
communication error occurs just at the moment when the signal is to be passed to the communication
interface. This is detected by the logic once the watchdog time of the communication link has elapsed. This
information should then be passed on to the output, resulting in a further communication error. This fault is
detected at the output once the watchdog time has elapsed, resulting in shutdown.
This results in the following formula for the worst-case response time:
ReactionTime = WD +
