12.1 Transient Transmission Function
12.1.2 Routing function
(7) Calculation of transmission delay time
The processing time to access a station on another network using the MELSEC Data
Link Library functions in a multiple network system can be obtained by adding the
following transmission delay factors.
(a) Processing time from request source to relay station
This is the transmission delay time from the request source (the station that
executed the function) to the routing relay station. In the following example, it is
the time required for the data to be transmitted from station 1M
P
1 to station 1N
S
3.
For the calculation of translation delay time, refer to the following manual.
CC-Link IE Controller Network Reference Manual
(b) Processing time from relay station to request target
This is the transmission delay time from the relay station to the request target (the
station to be accessed). In the following example, it is the time required for the
data to be transmitted from station 2M
P
1 to station 2N
S
3.
For the calculation of translation delay time, refer to the following manual.
CC-Link IE Controller Network Reference Manual
Remarks
When more than two networks are relayed using the routing function, add the
processing time from one relay station to the other relay station to the routing
transmission delay time.
(Routing transmission delay time) = (processing time from request source to relay station)
+ (processing time from relay station to request target)
