Answer / vicki
scan time is the time taken by DCS/PLC to read inputs,
execute program and as per input/logic update outputs
accordingly. PLC scan time depends on no. of inputs,
outputs and program size(total memory used, heap size). so
it may be different for different program(PLC). less scan
time means faster PLC action. scan time is mostly in mili
seconds, from 2ms onwords.

Answer / amit patel
SCAN time of DCS /PLC defines as execution of one cycle of
program (reads the inputs, executed whole program and
writes output)
Normaly DCS scan time are 200msec ,500msec,1 sec
PLC scan time are less than 100msec.

Answer / purushotham
scan time , name it self indicates time required to scan the process of operation.
time taken to finish operation (reading inputs,logic(process) and execution (output) of results).

Scan time is the time required to scan the inputs,program written and display the output accordingly.
As scan time of PLC is smaller than that of DCS,we use PLCs for faster operations in Industries.
Normally,PLC are used for Safety Purpose,the switches in interlocks for tripping,etc

Answer / sivabalan
PLC/DCS
Scan time is scan input and update input table, then perform logic and update logic table and finally update physical output devices. Taking time to execute above process is called.
Process
Scan input, Perform logic, Update output and finally perform house keeping task such as update the display.
