Calculation <strong>for</strong> Diagnostic Fault Reporting Time<br />
Typical and worst-case fault reporting times can be determined by using the <strong>for</strong>mula in this<br />
section. For typical configurations with less than eight AI modules, the calculation is not<br />
required and the default values can be used. The default values are:<br />
• 500 milliseconds <strong>for</strong> a typical case<br />
• 725 milliseconds <strong>for</strong> a worst case<br />
For configurations with more than eight AI modules, the <strong>for</strong>mula allows you to calculate typical<br />
and worst-case fault reporting times. This table provides a sample calculation.<br />

164 x 1.2 = 196.8<br />
Typical Case: 196.8 x 3 = 590.4 milliseconds + 1/2 scan time<br />
Worst Case: 196.8 x 4.5 = 885.6 milliseconds + 1 scan time<br />
1 Enter the number of modules and multiply each by the multiplier <strong>for</strong> the module type<br />
and then add the results.<br />
2 Multiply the result of step 1 by 1.2.<br />
3 If the result <strong>for</strong> step 2 is greater than 150, use the greater number; otherwise, use 150.<br />
4 To determine the typical case, multiply the result of step 3by 3, and then add 1/2 the<br />
application scan time.<br />
5 To determine the worst case, multiply the result of step 4 by 4.5, and then add 1<br />
application scan time.<br />
