3.2.5 Device Event Response Time
This parameter specifies the maximum time required by a BECO2200 device to recognize and to
be able to report an event. This parameter is used to determine what SOE event in the system is
the oldest, in order to sort and distribute the time-tagged binary input data accurately.
Event Occurs at Device Event Buffered at Device Time ➙
T1 T2
In the above figure, it takes the BECO2200 device t2-t1 units of time to recognize and buffer
the event data. If the BECO2200 DCA had polled the device at time T, which was after t1 but
prior to time t2, no event data would have been reported, event though an event has occurred.
The BECO2200 DCA will, therefore, distribute time-sorted SOE events up to the time T- (t2-
t1), instead of up to the time T.
