Servo Drive's Response Time for Commands from the CPU Unit
The response time starts with refreshing outputs for the cycle in which the command was sent from the CPU
Unit and continues until the Servo Drive starts operating in response to the command.
The maximum time from the end refresh of the user program's cycle in which the command was sent until the
command is actually received by the PCU is indicated as T
OUT_REF
:
(CPU cycle time or MECHATROLINK communications cycle, whichever is longer) + communications cycle
×

The PCU processing time from when the command is received by the PCU until it is sent using MECHA-
TROLINK communications is indicated as T
NC
:
MECHATROLINK communications cycle

Note
If a warning occurs, PCU retry processing is required, so the value for T
NC
is the MECHATROLINK com-
munications cycle

The time for a command sent from the PCU using MECHATROLINK communications to reach the Servo Drive
is indicated as T

The maximum value for the time until the Servo Drive actually starts operating in response to the command
sent from the CPU Unit's user program, as indicated by T
CMD
, is calculated as the total of these values, as fol-
