Message Service Transmission Delay
Example Calculation
300
In this example, RECV(098) is used to receive 256 words of data from another
PLC. The maximum transmission delay is calculated based on the following
operating conditions.
• Local node's CPU cycle time: 10 ms
• Local node's CPU execution mode: Normal
• Local node's CPU peripheral servicing time: Default (4%)
• Remote node's CPU cycle time: 15 ms
• Remote node's CPU execution mode: Normal
• Remote node's CPU peripheral servicing time: Default (4%)
• Baud rate: 100Base-TX

0.4 ms
0.550 ms ≅ 0.5 ms
0.0118 ms ≅ 0.1 ms
0.704 ms ≅ 0.7 ms
15 ms
0.6 ms
(256 × 0.002) + 0.550 = 1.062 ≅ 1.1 ms
(256 × 0.0013) + 0.0118 = 0.3446 ≅ 0.3 ms
(256 × 0.003) + 0.704 = 1.472 ≅ 1.5 ms

10 + 0.4 + 0.5 + 0.1 + 0.7 + 15 + 0.6 + 1.1 +
0.3 + 1.5 + 10 + 0.4 = 40.6 ms
