Example: Timer Interrupt
The following example demonstrates a program of using the timer interrupt function. The Function Area Settings must
also be completed to use the timer interrupt function as described on the preceding page.

M8120
Main Program
Interrupt Program
Notes for Using Timer Interrupt and Interrupt Inputs:
•
When using a timer interrupt or interrupt input, separate the interrupt program from the main program using the END
instruction at the end of the main program.
•
When an interrupt program calls another subroutine, a maximum of 3 subroutine calls can be nested. If more than 3 calls
are nested, a user program execution error occurs, turning on special internal relay M8004 and the ERR LED.
•
When using a timer interrupt or interrupt input, include the label number of the interrupt program to be executed when an
interrupt occurs. The label numbers stored in data registers D8032 through D8036 specify the interrupt programs for
interrupt inputs I2 through I5 and timer interrupt, respectively.
•
When more than one interrupt input or timer interrupt is turned on at the same time, interrupt program execution is given
priority to inputs I2, I3, I4, timer interrupt, and I5, in that order. If an interrupt is initiated while another interrupt program
is executed, the subsequent interrupt program is executed after the prior interrupt is completed. Multiple interrupt pro-
grams cannot be executed simultaneously.
•
When a communication function is used, such as data link, the interrupt program size must be limited to the executable
time listed in the table below.

•
If the interrupt program is longer than the value listed above, the entire system performance is affected. The timer and fil-
ter functions may not operate correctly, and communication error may be caused in the data link or communication with
display units. Make sure that the interrupt program execution time is within the values listed above, referring to the execu-
tion times on page A-1. When using high-speed counters, the interrupt program size has to be much smaller.
•
When using the data link and interrupt inputs, select 19200 bps for the baud rate of the data link communication.
•
Make sure that the execution time of the interrupt program is shorter than interrupt intervals sufficiently.
•
Interrupt programs cannot use the following instructions: SOTU, SOTD, TML, TIM, TMH, TMS, CNT, CDP, CUD, SFR, SFRN,
ROOT, WKTIM, WKTBL, DISP, DGRD, TXD1/2, RXD1/2, DI, EI, XYFS, CVXTY, CVYTX, PULS1/2, PWM1/2, RAMP, ZRN1/2,
PID, DTML, DTIM, DTMH, DTMS, and TTIM.
•
If the interrupt program execution time exceeds 670 µs when using the timer interrupt, a user program execution error
occurs, turning on special internal relay M8004 and the ERR LED.
•
The overhead from interrupt occurrence to interrupt program execution is approximately 60 µs. When using the high-speed
counter, the overhead may be extended.

M8120 is the initialize pulse special internal relay.
D8036 stores 0 to designate jump destination label 0 for timer interrupt.
The interrupt program is separated from the main program by the END
instruction.
While the CPU is running, program execution jumps to label 0 repeatedly
at intervals selected in the Function Area Settings.
Each time the interrupt program is completed, program execution returns
to the main program at the address where timer interrupt occurred.
Insert LRET at the end of the subroutine to return to the main program.
