Timing
Frequency converter response time behaviour
The period for the update through the PROFIBUS
connection can be subdivided into two portions:
1. The communication period, i.e. the time required
to transmit data from the master to the slave
(frequency converter with PROFIBUS option), and
2. the internal update period, i.e. the time required
to transmit data between the frequency converter
control card and the PROFIBUS option card.
The communication period (t
respective transmission speed (baud rate) and the
type of master being used. The shortest achievable
communication period is approximately 30 msec
per slave with the frequency converter PROFIBUS
option when DP communication with a data quantity
of 4 bytes (PPO type 3) at 12 Mbaud is used.
The communication period increases with more
data or lower transmission speeds.
The internal update period (t

for the transmission of data, with time-critical
data, such as the Control word, being given the
highest priority. The internal update time for the
respective data types is listed below.

to update all slaves of the network when cyclical

The update time of a single slave is composed of both
the communication period (depending on the baud
rate) and the station delay (TSDR) in the slave, and of
the delay in the master associated with the station.
The station delay (TSDR) is the delay time from the
moment when a station receives the last bit of a
telegram to the moment when it sends the first bit
of the next telegram. The station delay is defined by
two parameters: the minimum station delay (TSDR
and the maximum station delay (TSDR
Current station delay for the PROFIBUS option:
- DP: 11 bit times
Current master station delay:
- This information must be provided by the
manufacturer of the respective PROFIBUS master.
Example
- DP master with 1.5 MBaud and PPO type
3 (4 byte data); the assumption here is for 50
bit times as master TSDR.
