System 600 APOGEE Blocks
Siemens Building Technologies, Inc. 4-5
The System 600 APOGEE blocks have a default of 10 seconds for Scan Time which is
appropriate for these blocks when used as stand-alone blocks. If the System 600 APOGEE
blocks are used as primary blocks in a chain, the chain will use the Scan Time for the
processing rate.
There are two types of scan time:
• Table 4-2 shows Time Based scans:
Table 4-2. Time-Based Scan Times.
Increment Range
Subseconds 0.05 –- 0.95
Seconds 1 — 59
