Setting Message Timers - Omron CX-INTEGRATOR - V2.3 REV 02-2009 Operation Manual

6-9 Advanced Settings (Connection, Communication Cycle Time, Slave Function
Note Communication cycle time refers to the required time of remote I/O communications
between the master and a slave. Communication cycle time settings properly made will
prevent the fluctuation of the time of remote I/O communications with the slave.
Furthermore, by setting the communication cycle time to a larger value, the prolonged
processing operation of the slave will not be treated as a communications error. If the
actual remote I/O communications time is shorter than the set communication cycle
time, the remote I/O communications will keep pace with the communication cycle
time. If actual I/O communications take longer than the set communication cycle time,
the I/O communications will be continued regardless of the set communication cycle
time.
