47 The equation for minimum I/O response time is thus as follows: Response time = input ON delay + scan time of PC of Unit 0 + minimum transmission time + scan time of PC of Unit 7 + output ONdelay Inserting the following values into this equation produces a minimum I/O re-sponse time of 99 ms. Inpu...

48 The equation for maximum I/O response time is as follows: Response time = input ON delay + (scan time of PC of Unit 0 x 3) + (PC Link polling time x 2 + induction sequence processing time) +(scan time of PC of Unit 7 x 2) + output ON delay Inserting the same values plus the following values into ...

59 SECTION 7 Error Processing The PC Link Units provide various means of monitoring systems operation and resolving errors when they occur. Theseinclude LED indications, PC RUN and Error Flags, and, for C200H, C200HS, and C200HX/HG/HE(-Z) systems, SpecialI/O Unit Error Flags and Restart Bits. 7-1 SR...

60 7-1 SR Area Flags PC RUN Flags can be read to determine the operational status of each PC towhich a PC Link Unit is mounted. All PCs are operational when their PC RUNFlag is ON. If there is a transfer error or a power failure for any PC Link Unit, the ErrorFlag for that Unit will turn ON, and an ...

62 7-2 Error Examples Error conditions are indicated by the LEDs as described below. Some errors in switch settings (e.g., setting the same unit number for morethan on PC Link Unit) will not result in an error display, but will cause LR areadata to be in error. LK009 LK401 MEANING Only possible on t...

64 Because Unit 0 receives no response from Unit 1 only, it indicates an errorfor it, and normal conditions for Units 2 and 3. Since Unit 1 receives no poll-ing signal from Unit 0, it indicates an error for Unit 0. Units 2, 3, and 5 receivesignals from each other and indicate normal conditions other...
