As shown in the PLC sweep sequence, several items are included in the sweep. These items
contribute to the total sweep time as shown in the following table.

Housekeeping
• Calculate sweep time.
• Schedule start of next sweep.
• Determine mode of next sweep.
• Update fault reference tables.
• Reset watchdog timer.

Data Input Input data is received from input and
option modules.
See Table 2-2 for scan time contributions.
Program
Execution
User logic is solved. Execution time is dependent upon the length of the
program and the type of instructions used in the
program. Instruction execution times are listed in
Appendix A.
Data Output Output data is sent to output and option
modules.
See Table 2-2 for scan time contributions.

1.
The scan time contribution of external device service is dependent upon the mode of the communications
window in which the service is processed. If the window mode is
LIMITED
, a maximum of 8 milliseconds for the
311, 313, 323, and 331 CPUs and 6 milliseconds for the 340 and higher CPUs will be spent during that window. If
the window mode is
RUN-TO-COMPLETION
, a maximum of 50 ms can be spent in that window, depending upon
the number of requests which are presented simultaneously.
2.
These measurements were taken with the PCM physically present but not configured and with no
application task running on the PCM.
3.
The number of words checksummed each sweep can be changed with the SVCREQ function block.
4.
These measurements were taken with an empty program and the default configuration. The Series 90-30
PLCs were in an empty 10-slot rack with no extension racks connected. Also, the times in this table assume that there
is no periodic subroutine active; the times will be larger if a periodic subroutine is active.
5. The data input time for the Micro PLC can be determined as follows: 0.365 ms. (fixed scan) + 0.036 ms. (filter time) x
(total sweep time)/0.5 ms
.
6. Since the Micro PLC has a static set of I/O, reconfiguration is not necessary.
7. Since the user program for the Micro PLC is in Flash memory, it will not be checked for integrity.
Note
The times for the 350 CPU and the 360 series are estimated to be the same.
