Specifications A-5
Example Discrete I/O Throughput without Block Transfers Present
An SLC 5/03 is controlling an RIO link running at 115.2K baud that has
the following adapters:
• One 1747-ASB module is configured as a 1/2 logical rack starting
at logical rack 0.
I/O chassis slot 1 contains 1746-IB16, 16 point input module
I/O chassis slot 2 contains 1746-OB16, 16 point output module
• Two adapters are each configured as full logical racks (logical
racks 1 and 2).
• Three adapters are each configured as 1/4 logical racks (logical
rack 3).
You need to calculate your T
dm-nbt
: the RIO throughput time from
when the input closes on the 1746-IN16 until the output on the
1746-OB16 is on.
1. Use the throughput formula to calculate the maximum
throughput.
T
ps
= 25.0 ms
T
RIO
= The total RIO scan time (ms)
T
SNo
= See value in the table on page A-14, T
SNo

File Writes (Normal Mode).
T
SNi
= 5.0 ms
T
id
= 10.0 ms, which is from I/O module instruction sheets
T
od
= 1.0 ms, which is from I/O module instruction sheets
T
dm-nbt
= 2(25.0) + 2T
RIO
+ 8.0 + T
SNo
+ 5.0 + 10.0 + 1.0
2. Calculate the total RIO scan time (T
RIO
). Locate the baud rate
(115.2K) and adapter size, which is found in the table on page
A-4. Multiply the RIO scan times listed under the 115.2K heading
by the number of each different type of rack that you have. Add
those numbers together:
