5. The slave receives the send frame of the process data from the EtherCAT master in the scheduled
trigger timing, and outputs data to relays and other output devices.
Calculation Formula for Maximum I/O Response Time
The maximum I/O response time is calculated for each periodic task of the CPU Unit in which I/O is
refreshed for EtherCAT slaves.
The formula for calculating the maximum I/O response time is as follows:
Maximum I/O response time = Task period of periodic task (= process data communications cycle) × 2
+ Slave input response time + Slave output response time
+ Transmission delay time + Transmission jitter
Precautions for Correct Use
The values that are found in the above formula are guidelines instead of guaranteed values.
You must use a physical device to check the performance before the actual operation.
The following describes how to find each element value in the formula.

Task Period of Periodic Task
This indicates the task period of the primary periodic task or the priority-5 periodic task. The priori-
ty-5 periodic task is applicable only when you use an NX701 CPU Unit.

Transmission Delay Time
The following methods are provided to calculate the transmission delay times for the CPU Unit and
the periodic tasks in which I/O is refreshed.
Precautions for Correct Use
The calculation of the transmission delay times described below assume that OMRON slaves
are used with recommended cables.

1. Calculation with the Sysmac Studio
You can use the Sysmac Studio to display the transmission delay time for the EtherCAT master.
Refer to
Displaying Transmission Delay Time for EtherCAT Master with the Sysmac Studio on
