The I/O Bus task is an internal task, which updates the I/O module data
from the process image.
Fieldbus tasks are triggered by fieldbus events (communications); therefore,
they only use processing time when the fieldbus is active.
IEC tasks with these priorities can be interrupted by the I/O Bus and
Fieldbus tasks. Therefore, if the watchdog is used, before selecting the
sampling rate, consider the number of I/O modules in the node and the
communication activity via the fieldbus.
The PLC Comm Task is only active when you are logged in with CoDeSys.
This task manages the communication with the CoDeSys-Gateway.
All internal tasks have a higher priority than the IEC background tasks.
Therefore, IEC background tasks are used for time-consuming and time-
uncritical jobs (e.g., SysLibFile functions)
