Scan time

Hi guys, I'm wondering if anyone can tell me what's the scan time for PLC5, SLC500 and Logix5000? Even a website link will be much appreciated. Cheers

The scan time for each of these processors is going to depend on the program size and complexity. General Rule of Thumb {Use with extreme caution - you know how generalities are} SLC 500 - 10 to 90 ms scan times are the norm. PLC 5 - 10 to 90 ms scan times are the norm. Logix5000 - 2 to 30,000 uS scan times are the norm. A little more about your application and why scan is critical could help with answering your root question.
