Properties Tab „IO Cycle“, area „Update Time“ offers settings for the requested Update Time. In relation to
the send clock a reduction ratio „Factor“ results. In case of a reduction ratio the encoder will not update and
send its position value each send clock cycle, but only every 2nd, 4th or 8th cycle. Not every application
needs being updated at the high send clock rate. At a high bus load this reduction may save a lot of band
with better used for time-critical other devices. Applicable factors may vary with the real time class and send
clock and are offered in the drop down area.
