8-3 Calculating I/O Refresh Time
This section describes the calculation of the I/O Refresh Time for a SmartSlice configuration.
The I/O Refresh Time is the time required to process the Outputs, transmitting the EtherCAT data and
processing the Inputs.
The I/O Refresh Time depends on the hardware configuration of the Slave.
For more information refer to manual W501 (NJ-series Software user’s Manual).
To calculate the I/O Refresh Time:
1.
Define the SmartSlice configuration.
2.
List for all available units the input size and the output size.
The input- and output size are the number of bits required for the signal.
Additional information
•
One digital Input or Output has a I/O size of 1 bit. (On / Off)
•
One Analog Input or Output has a I/O size of 2 bytes.
•
One Counter Unit has an Input size of 6 bytes and an Output size of 6 bytes.
•
1 byte = 8 bits
3.
Calculate the total number of bytes for Inputs, named
IN_size.
IN_size = Size Digital Size Analog Size
Communication Unit status
•
Size Digital Inputs (DI)
The
IN_size
is in bytes, the actual unit is bits, so conversion from bits to bytes is required.
• Add all digital inputs together.
• Convert the result from bits to bytes.
= (Total number of DI / 8) and then round to next integer value.
• Size Analog Inputs (AI)
Each analog SmartSlice Input uses 2 bytes.
One analog SmartSlice unit has 2 analog inputs and therefore an Analog Inputs Size of 4
bytes.
• Add all Analog inputs together.
• Multiply AI by 2.
• Size Counter Inputs (CI)
Each Counter SmartSlice Unit uses 6 bytes.
• Add all Counter Units together.
• Multiply AI by 6.
