Chapter 9 PLC Operation

(3)Continuation of operation after a congestion error occurred

If an interrupt scan congestion error occurs when the special internal output bit R7C2, which specifies whether the operation should continue after a congestion error, is turned on, the interrupt scan is started anew and the scan is executed from the beginning again. Therefore, if the operation continuation specification of the normal scan is Off under the conditions where interrupt inputs are frequently entered from the external source, this scan is stopped as a normal scan congestion error. If the operation continuation specification of the normal scan is On, only interrupt scans are continuously executed depending on the condition of the interrupt congestion error. Care must be taken because normal scans are not executed under this condition.
