Scan Parameters
Controller (Available only when Sweep Mode is set to Normal. Read-only if the Controller
Communications Communications Window Mode is set to Complete.) The maximum execution time for the
Window Timer Controller Communications Window per scan. This value cannot be greater than the value
(ms) for the watchdog timer.
The valid range and default value depend on the Controller Communications Window
Mode:
▪
▪
Note:
Backplane (Available only when Sweep Mode is set to Normal.) Execution settings for the Backplane
Communication Communications Window.
Window Mode
Choices:
Complete: The window runs to completion. There is no time limit.
Limited: Time sliced. The maximum execution time for the Backplane Communications
Window per scan is specified in the Backplane Communications Window Timer parameter.
Default: Complete.
Backplane (Available only when Sweep Mode is set to Normal. Read-only if the Backplane
Communications Communications Window Mode is set to Complete.) The maximum execution time for the
Window Timer Backplane Communications Window per scan. This value can be greater than the value for
(ms) the watchdog timer.
The valid range and the default depend on the Backplane Communications Window Mode:
▪
▪
Background (Available only when Sweep Mode is set to Normal.) The maximum execution time for the
Window Background Communications Window per scan. This value cannot be greater than the
Timer (ms) value for the watchdog timer.
Valid range: 0 through 255
Default: 0 (5ms for Redundancy CPUs)
Sweep Timer (Available only when Sweep Mode is set to Constant Sweep.) The maximum overall PLC
(ms) scan time. This value cannot be greater than the value for the watchdog timer.
Some or all of the windows at the end of the sweep might not be executed. The windows
terminate when the overall PLC sweep time has reached the value specified for the Sweep
Timer parameter.
Valid range: 5 through 2550 ms, in increments of 5 ms. If the value entered is not a multiple
of 5ms, it is rounded to the next highest multiple of 5ms.
Default: 100.
118
Complete: There is no time limit.
Limited: Valid range: 0 through 255ms. Default: 10.
This parameter corresponds to the Programmer Window Timer parameter on a
Series 90-70 PLC.
Complete: There is no time limit. The Backplane Communications Window
Timer parameter is read-only.
Limited: Valid range: 0 through 255ms. Default: 255. (10ms for Redundancy
CPUs.)
