The “I-Am-Alive time” is a 16-bit value. Bits 7–0 contain the “Time base”
and bits 15–8 contain the “Multiplier”.
The “I-Am-Alive time” is calculated by multiplying the "Time base" with the
"Multiplier".
The following table shows the coding of the Time base.

Table 16: Time base of I-Am-Alive time
The Multiplier has the value range of 1 … 255.
The “I-Am-Alive time” is calculated by multiplying the "Time base" with the
"Multiplier", as shown in the following table:

Table 17: Calculation of I-Am-Alive time
The Wireless Master verifies the calculated “I-Am-Alive time” with the
following limits:
·
“Minimum I-Am-Alive time” = W-Sub-cycle duration [ms] * (Ma
1)
If the calculated “I-Am-Alive time” is less than the “Minimum I-Am-Alive
time”, the Wireless Master uses the “Minimum I-Am-Alive time” as
resulting “I-Am-Alive time”.
·
Maximum I-Am-Alive time = 10 minutes
If the calculated “I-Am-Alive time” is greater than the “Maximum I-Am-
Alive time”, the error message
Port configuration failed HTTP
Error 500: NetProxy returned with an error: C0000124
appears.
