Monitoring MCPs

The program scan times for each MCP are stored in the controller status file,

including the previous and maximum scan time. The status file also stores the

cumulative scan time, S:8 (the scan time for one complete pass through all

MCPs) and the maximum cumulative scan time, S:9.

IMPORTANT If you plan to use SFC subcharts, make sure you define

something for MCP A - even an empty ladder file is

sufficient. If a MCP is undefined, the controller faults on

the second SFC scan with major fault code 71 SFC

subchart is already executing.
