Worked Example
default_test
Given:
- t_scan = 1
- t_actuate = 1
- t_response = 1
Expected Result:
- total_safety_loop_response_time = 3
Engineering Interpretation:
Under the given input conditions, the calculated result is: total_safety_loop_response_time = 3 s.
The actual numerical result is computed by the Runtime engine using the persisted tool definition. The values shown here come from deterministically validated test cases.
