3-28 Module Data, Status, and Channel Configuration
Module update time can be calculated by obtaining the sum of all
enabled channel update times. Channel update times include channel
scan time, channel switching time, and reconfiguration time.
Effects of Autocalibration on Module Update Time
The module’s autocalibration feature allows it to correct for accuracy
errors caused by component temperature drift over the module
operating temperature range (0 to 55°C). Autocalibration occurs
automatically on a system mode change from Program-to-Run for all
configured channels. In addition, the module allows you to configure
it to perform an autocalibration cycle every 5 minutes during normal
operation or to disable this feature using the Enable/Disable Cyclic
Calibration function (default: Enable). With this feature, you can
implement a calibration cycle anytime, using your control program to
enable and then disable this bit.
If you enable the autocalibration function, the module update time
increases when the autocalibration cycle occurs. To limit its impact on
module update time, the autocalibration function is divided over
several module scans.
Each enabled channel requires a separate 4-step cycle. If cyclic lead
compensation is disabled, each enabled channel requires only a
separate 3-step autocalibration cycle. The time added to the module
update time depends on the filter selected for that channel as shown
in Table 3.16 below.
EXAMPLE
1.
Module Update Time with all channels enabled
and configured with 10 Hz filter = 4 x 303 ms =
1212 ms
2.
Module Update Time with all channels enabled
and using the 1 kHz filter = 4 x 6 ms = 24 ms
