Tale

Data transmission at 1.5 MBaud

Tbit = transmission time, 1 bit = 0.6667s
OCTET : 11 Tbit = 7.3 s
Token Passing : 33 Tbit = 22 s
Status / Request : 66 Tbit = 44 s
Data : Head (9 octets) + Tale (2 octets) + Data (n octets)
2 bytes of data : 13 x 11 Tbit = 143 Tbit = 95.3 s

Idle time for master :

typical 75 Tbit = 50 s
Station delay time for slave :
typical 11 Tbit = 7.3

Total, 2 bytes of data : (33+66+143+75+11)Tbit = 0.219 ms
