This is the time frame in which the master application generates new
setpoints (e.g. in the position controller cycle).

Data exchange time
This is the time required within one cycle for transferring process data to
all available slaves.

Dx Data_Exchange
This service is used to implement user data exchange between master
and slave 1 - n.
MSG Acyclic service
This service is used to implement user data exchange between master
and slave 1 - n on an acyclical basis.
RES Reserve: "Active pause" until the isochronous cycle has expired
R Calculation time for speed or position controller in the master or slave
T
M
Master time
Start of closed-loop master control
