8.2.11 Safety refresh monitoring time
Check the conditions of the safety refresh monitoring time (RM). The following shows calculation examples.
Table 8-15 Parameters
Transmission interval monitoring time on the active
side
(Transmission interval monitoring time to be set on
the safety programmable controller)
Transmission interval monitoring time on the
passive side
(Transmission interval monitoring time to be set on
Communication cycle intervals
Safety cycle time on the active side
(Safety cycle time of the safety CPU module:
Safety cycle time on the passive side
(Safety cycle time of the robot controller: SCrc)
A smallest multiple of SCact which is greater than
TMact /2
A smallest multiple of SCpas which is greater than
TMpas /2
The safety refresh monitoring time (RM) must satisfy all of the following conditions. Set a value equal to or higher
than 28.0 [ms].
(1) RM ≥ TMact + (TMpas /2) + (LS × 2) - a + (SCpas /2)
= 16.30 + (21.40 /2) + (1.00 × 2) - 7.30 + (7.11 /2)
= 25.26
(2) RM ≥ (TMact /2) + TMpas + (LS × 2) - c + (SCpas /2)
= (16.30 /2) + 21.40 + (1.00 × 2) - 7.18 + (7.11 /2)
= 27.93
(3) RM > TMact
= 16.30
(4) RM > TMpas
= 21.40
