The first initialization process is performed only once, immediately after pow-
er is applied to the PC. The remaining operations are performed in cyclic
fashion, with each cycle forming one scan. The scan time is the time that is
required for the CPU to complete one of these cycles. This cycle includes
basically five types of operation.
Overseeing
Program execution
I/O refresh
Programming Console servicing
PC Link servicing
The scan time is the total time required for the PC to perform all of the above
operations. The present and maximum scan time can be read out from the
Programming Console with the SP16 or SP20. Refer to 3-8-2 Reading the
Scan Time for details.
All peripheral devices are serviced once each scan in the order given above.
Within the PC, the watchdog timer measures the scan time and compares it
to a set value. If the scan time exceeds the set value of the watchdog timer,
100 ms, a CPU error is generated and the CPU stops. One scan time is ap-
proximately 300 µs plus the time required for program execution.
The I/O response time is the time it takes for the PC to output a control signal
after it has received an input signal. The time it takes to respond depends on
the scan time and when the CPU receives the input signal relative to the I/O
refresh period.
•
After power application, there is a 2.5-s delay
before the start of initialization.
•
Transfer the program from EEPROM to RAM.
•
Resets data areas (except DR area), resets all
timers, and checks the link status.
•
Resets the watchdog timer.
•
Checks the RUN status and Program Memory.
•
Using the programmed code, executes each
instruction from address 000 through to the
END instruction
•
Output Refresh
Refreshes output bits according to output bit
status (results of the executed program).
•
Input Refresh
Refreshes input bits according to input signals.
•
Services the Programming Console (monitor,
edits, etc.).
•
Data communication with other PCs
via the Link Adapter.
