Cyclic data transmission of data bits

The basic cycle of cyclic data transmission for data exchange between the master and the device is approximately 160 µs per device for cyclic 4 bit input payload data and 4 bit output payload data. This results in a cycle time of 5 ms for a maximum of 31 devices. This cycle time increases to up to 10 ms with extended addressing (A/B address range).
