Calculating Program Timing
Chapter 9
9-11
File Instructions
The instruction timing for file instructions depends on the data type,
number of files acted on per scan, number of elements acted on per scan,
and whether the instruction converts data between integer and floating
point formats.
Table 9.O shows PLC-5/10, -5/12, -5/15, and -5/25 processors. When you
use these tables, keep these guidelines in mind:
for integer to floating point conversion, add:
8
µs for each element address
10
µs for each file address (# prefix)
for floating point to integer conversion add:
33
µs for each element address
44
µs for each file address (# prefix)

Use the smaller number if all addresses are below word 4096; use the larger number if all addresses are above 4096.
