Example Calculations Calculations would be as shown below for an input ON delay of 1.5 ms, an out-
put ON delay of 15 ms, and a cycle time of 20 ms.
Minimum I/O Response Time
Time = 1.5 ms + (20 ms x 3) + 15 ms = 76.5 ms
Maximum I/O Response Time
Time = 1.5 ms + (20 ms x 4) + 15 ms = 96.5 ms
Note 1. The cycle time may be less than or equal to the remote I/O transmission time
when there are Special I/O Units on Slave Racks. If this is the case, there
may be cycles when I/O is not refreshed between the Master and the
C200HS CPU.
2. Refreshing is performed for Masters only once per cycle, and then only after
confirming completion of the remote cycle.
3. The short duration of ON/OFF status produced by differentiated instructions
can cause inaccurate signals when dealing with Remote I/O Systems un-
less appropriate programming steps are taken.
6-4-3 Host Link Systems
The following diagram illustrates the processing that takes place when an input
on one PC is transferred through the Host Link System to turn ON an output on
another PC. Refer to Host Link System documentation for further details.

The equations used to calculate the minimum and maximum cycle times are giv-
en below. The number of cycles required for each PC depends on the amount of
data being read/written.
Minimum response time = Input ON delay + Command transmission time + (Cycle time of PC for Unit #0 x 3) + Response transmis-
sion time + Host computer processing time + Command transmission time + (Cycle time of PC for Unit #31
x 3) + Output ON delay
Maximum response time = Input ON delay + Command transmission time + (Cycle time of PC for Unit #0 x 10) + Response transmis-
sion time + Host computer processing time + Command transmission time + (Cycle time of PC for Unit #31
x 10) + Output ON delay
