For Mini-ACE™/Mini-ACE™ Plus and Enhanced Mini-ACE™ BC, how does intermessage gap timing work?

A. For Mini-ACE™ (Plus) and Enhanced Mini-ACE™, the BC provides a “time-to-next-message” parameter (rather than true “intermessage gap time”) for each BC message. The “time to next message” parameter defines the time from the start of the current message to the time of the start of the subsequent message. In addition, the BC architecture of the Enhanced Mini-ACE™ enables you to implement a true “intermessage gap time” function by means of the DLY (delay) instruction. The delay time is programmable in 1 µs steps, up to 65.535 ms. The overall intermessage gap time will then be approximately 10 µs plus the value of the DLY parameter.
