Worksheet B: Genius I/O Sweep Time
Use the following worksheet for predicting the sweep impact due to Genius I/O. The
sweep impact times can be found in Sweep Impact Time of Genius I/O and GBCs.

A-3.5 Ethernet Global Data Sweep Impact
Note: Refer to Section, A-3.6 for information on standalone models supporting Embedded
Ethernet interface.
Depending on the relationship between the CPU sweep time and an Ethernet Global Data
(EGD) exchange’s period, the exchange’s data may be transferred every sweep or
periodically after some number of sweeps. Therefore, the sweep impact varies based on
the number of exchanges that are scheduled to be transferred during the sweep. All of
