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 * (Signals Duty Cycle)]
÷
(Total Time Period)
For example, if a Pulse Input receives a signal for 6 hours over a 24-
hour time period and the signal’s wave form is on time for 1/3 of the
signal’s period:
Duty Cycle = [6 hours * (1
÷
3)]
÷
(24 hours) = 0.0825
