×
Time to send or receive one character (ms)
*2
+ Programmable controller’s maximum scan time (ms)
+ Message wait (ms)
Note:
*1 Please count the number of characters with reference section 7.4.1 and 7.4.2 and chapter 8.
*2 Please refer to the following expression for time calculation.
Time to send or receive one character = 1/baud rate
×
number of bits in character
(start bit(1) + Data length(7 or 8) + Parity bit(0 or 1) + Stop bit(1 or 2))
Example
When 1 character = 10 bits (Data length = 7, Parity bit = 1, stop bit = 1 start bit = 1),
the time is as follows.
Note;
Please refer to following table for the relation between reading word points and communication
time.
“Message time = 0ms, Maximum scan time = 20ms, Dedicated protocol format = format 1,
Command = WR, Baud rate = 9,600 or 19,200 bps”
Baud rate (bps) Time to send or receive one character (ms)
300 33.34
600 16.67
1200 8.34
2400 4.17
4800 2.08
9600 1.04
19200 0.52
