Notes
Application performance and execution
period are almost the same as original
DPCS. As DPCS Emulator emulates all
control card programs on single CPU,
the total time of all control card
programs execution must be in the
Control Period.
9511A(VACPX2B, VPCPX2B) uses
different floating pint data format. The
results of calculation can be different.
Input data/parameter of inappropriate
data type in a function block might
produce unexpected results. In such
cases, the output of DPCS and DPCS
emulator can be different.
