Table Total
Duty Cycle
The duty cycle is the time on divided by the total time, and is
essentially the percent of time that the I/O channel is active
(maximum power consumption).
Duty Cycle = Active time
÷
(Active time + Inactive time)
For example, if a Discrete Input is active for 15 seconds out of every 60
seconds:
Duty Cycle = 15 seconds
÷
(15 seconds + 45 seconds) = 15 seconds
÷
60 seconds = 0.25
