PROFIBUS-DP interface
In the case of the CPU 315-2 DP/316-2DP, the cycle time is typically extended by
5% when the PROFIBUS-DP interface is used.
In the case of the CPU 318-2, there is no increase in cycle time when the
PROFIBUS-DP interface is used.
Integrated Functions
With CPU 312-IFM and 314-IFM operation the cycle time increases by a maximum
of 10% when using integrated functions. Also take into consideration a possible
instance DB update during the cycle checkpoint.
Table 3-5 shows the update times of the instance DB at the scan cycle checkpoint,
together with the corresponding SFB runtimes.

Delay of the Inputs and Outputs
You must take account of the following delay times, depending on the module:
For digital inputs: The input delay time
For digital outputs: Negligible delay times
For relay outputs: Typical delay times of between 10 ms and 20 ms.
The delay of the relay outputs depends, among other things, on the
temperature and voltage.
For analog inputs: Cycle time of the analog input
For analog outputs: Response time of the analog output
