Step 2: Calculate the response times of the safety function

► Make measurements for a real system.
► Ensure sufficient dimensioning of the watchdog times and task monitoring.
► Measure the maximum response time in all sections of the signal propagation path with safe
fieldbus communication or safe cross communication.
safe fieldbus communication (FSoE): output tMaxRespTimeMS of the function block
FSoEMaster
safe cross communication (Safety NetVars): output tMaxRespTime MS of the function block
NetVarReceiver
► Calculate the response time of the safety function with the measured values:

The formula in the table determine only the maximum response time of the devices. For the
calculation of the maximum process response time the delay times of the safety AS-i
sensors/actuators and the respective input/output devices have to be added additionally
(T(sensor) + T(input) and T(output) + T(aktuator)).
