Initiator Idle Time (T
After receiving the last character of a telegram, the initiator must wait this amount
of time before it sends the next telegram. The idle time (T

Minimum Slave Interval
The minimum slave interval is the minimum time that must expire between two
slave polling cycles in which a slave can exchange data with the Master. To
permit the slave station to be able to respond during every data cycle, it controls
the bus cycle with this parameter. It is defined in the slave's GSD file via the
parameter Min_Slave_Interval, which is specified as a 16-bit factor of 100 s
(Min_Slave_Interval = 1 is 100 s). On some older equipment, the PROFIBUS
link was implemented in software (as opposed to within the slave ASIC) and a
typical value was about 2 ms. On newer equipment with modern ASICs, values
down to100 s can be achieved.
9.8.2 Calculating System Reaction Time
A simplified calculation of system reaction time for a PROFIBUS DP system is
derived from the following parameters:

T (Station Reaction Time)
SDR

The Transmission (Baud) Rate

The Net Data Length specified

Min_Slave_Interval (min time between two slave polling cycles)
Example:
One Master and x slaves are connected via PROFIBUS DP. We will use the
maximum available 1536 bytes of output data and 1536 bytes of input data.
These are to transfer to the maximum number slaves allowed, using 1536 input
and output bytes at 12PDPMV1s. Each slave utilizes an SPC3 ASIC.
To calculate the relative bus cycle time for this network:
Let T = Time of 1 telegram cycle (request telegram + T
MC
Let T = Time of 1 bus cycle (the sum of all telegram cycles).
