Communications Cycle Time
Section 8-2
With a Controller Link Network, the token is moved for the following.
• Normal token passing
• Token passing for new node checks by the polling node (depends on the
number of polled nodes set in the network parameters)
• Token passing for responses to messages.
Although the actually delay time will depend on the location of the line discon-
nection point, differences in the time required to receive the token can be
reduced by setting node addresses in order on the network.
Maximum Communications Cycle Time Delay with Node Addresses Set in Order
The maximum delay in the communications cycle time can be calculated as
follows if the node addresses are set in the order that the nodes are con-
nected in the network.
A: Number of polled nodes per communications cycle
(value specified in the network parameter)
B: Number of nodes that send messages during the communications cycle
C: Number of nodes connected to network
D: Extra communications time for long-distance cable connections.

Calculation Example for
Optical Ring Networks
with H-PCF Cable
Communications conditions are as follows:
Type:
Optical Ring
Transmission medium:
H-PCF cable
Transmission distance:
8 km
Baud rate:
2 Mbps (fixed)
Network parameters:
Defaults
Max node address:
62
Polled nodes per comm cycle: 4
Event-frames per comm cycle: 35
Network configuration:
8 nodes
Nodes that send messages: 2
nodes
Bytes in all messages sent:
2,012

2 bytes
In this example, B to F in the equation have the following values.
A: 4
B: 8
C: 2
D: 7
