■Causes of transmission time (T1) delay
When a command that takes two scans to send is executed, the transmission time is twice the value obtained by the formula
above .
When the access request is issued to the same station from multiple external devices simultaneously, refer to the precautions
for data communication. (Page 23 When accessing CPU module)
Data transmission to the CPU module other than connected station (host station) on CC-Link IE,
MELSECNET/H, or MELSECNET/10 may be delayed considerably depending on conditions. The
transmission delay time can be shortened by limiting communication between an external device and the CPU
module to the station with C24/E71 mounted, and communicating with programmable controllers on other
stations by data link (LB, LW).
Transmission time (T1) to access other station (remote I/O net)
The following shows the transmission time for MELSECNET/H(remote I/O net) and MELSECNET/10(remote I/O net).
MELSEC iQ-R series and MELSEC-L series are not supported.
Transmission time (T1) = (Transmission delay time + 1 link scan time or internal processing time) × (n + 1)
Internal processing time C24 : Approximately 50 ms, E71 : Approximately 30 ms
*1 Refer to the transmission delay time in the reference manual (remote I/O network) of the network system.
*2 n=6
When performing the initial communication to the relevant station after starting link.
When communicating with stations other than the latest 16 stations communicated with.
n=1
When performing the second communication when the number of communication stations is 16 or less
When performing the second communication to the 16 stations communicated last
*3 When online program change is disabled in C24/E71, '1' is added only when writing data from external device.
(Set the parameter in the Switch Setting for C24. As for E71, set it in Operation Settings using Engineering tool.)
■Transmission time calculation example
The following example shows when C24 is mounted on the station on MELSECNET/H (remote I/O net), and the device
memory of other station on the same network is read. (When the number of communication station is 8 stations, and the
second communication is performed)
● Processing times
• S
: Scan time of remote master station sequence program 12 ms
m
•
: Link refresh time of remote master station 5 ms
m
• LS : Link scan time 9 ms
Since the processing time is (S
Ex.
When master station is one station
Transmission time (T1) = {(12 + 5) × 3 + 50} × 1
( 101ms )

(When this value is more than the internal processing time.)
