Table Total
Duty Cycle
The duty cycle is the time on divided by the total time, and is
essentially the percent of time that the I/O channel is active
(maximum power consumption).
Duty Cycle = [Active Time
*
(Signals Duty Cycle)] ÷ (Total Time Period)
For example, if a Pulse Input receives a signal for 6 hours over a 24-hour
time period and the signal’s wave form is on time for 1/3 of the signal’s
period:
Duty Cycle = [6 hours
*
(1 ÷ 3)] ÷ (24 hours) = 0.0825
