Worked Example
Verified calculation
Given:
- Base Frame Transmission Time = 0.0005
- Per-Slave Overhead Time = 2.0E-5
- Number of Remote I/O Slaves = 16
Expected Result:
- Total Network Scan Time = 0.00082
Engineering Interpretation:
Under the given input conditions, the calculated result is: Total Network Scan Time = 0.00082 s.
The actual numerical result is computed by the Runtime engine using the persisted tool definition. The values shown here come from automatically validated test cases.
