Result Interpretation

Laser Safety Enclosure Interlock Response Time Validator calculator computes Interlock response time in s using the defined engineering formula and the input values provided. Interlock response time is expressed in s. No universal acceptance threshold is defined by this calculator.

Worked Example

Verified calculation

Given:

  • Controller processing latency = 0.05
  • Optical path propagation delay = 3.3356E-9
  • Safety timing margin = 0.005

Expected Result:

  • Interlock response time = 0.055000000005557

Engineering Interpretation:

Under the given input conditions, the calculated result is: Interlock response time = 0.055000000005557 s.

The actual numerical result is computed by the Runtime engine using the persisted tool definition. The values shown here come from automatically validated test cases.

Formula / Method

interlock response time = sqrt(pow(controller processing latency, 2) + pow(optical path propagation delay, 2)) + safety timing margin
