A Logix5000™ controller lets you use multiple tasks to schedule and prioritize the
execution of your programs that are based on criteria. This multitasking allocates
the processing time of the controller among the different operations in your
application:
• The controller executes only one task at a time.
• One task can interrupt the execution of another task and take control.
• In any given task, multiple programs can be used. However, only one
program executes at a time.
• You can display tasks in the Controller or Logical Organizer views, as
necessary.
