    Response times for Fieldbus I/O varies and depends on several factors, including baud  rate, scan rate, number of tasks, communication error, etc. EPSON RC+ does not guarantee the real-time response for the fieldbus I/O and message inputs. When the fastest and most consistent response times are required, please use EPSON Standard digital I/O, which incorporates interrupt driven inputs and outputs.
