Attached File Transfer Times Section 3-7
3-7 Attached File Transfer Times
When sending an attached file with the Mail Receive Function, the access
time can be as long as 30 or 40 minutes for a very large file. The following
tables show how long the CPU Unit's memory will be accessed by the Ether-
net Unit (how long the Accessing Memory/Receiving Mail Flag will be ON).
Access Times for CS1 and
CJ1 CPU Units
Access Times for CS1-H
and CJ1-H CPU Units
Note (1) The access times for FileWrite and FileRead commands indicate Memo-
ry Card access times.
(2) The access times in the tables above are standard times when the PLC
Setup's "Fixed Peripheral Servicing Time" setting is set to the default val-
ue of 4% of the cycle time.
(3) The attached file transfer time can be reduced by increasing the time al-
lowed for peripheral servicing in the PLC Setup's "Fixed Peripheral Ser-
vicing Time" setting.
