(2)Scan time confirmation

(a)The scan time from the END instruction to the next END instruction is timed in the PLC, and stored into the special registers D9017 to D9019 in units of 10ms.

1)Data stored into special registers D9017 to D9019

D9017 ........... Minimum value of scan time

D9018 ........... Present value of scan time

D9019 ........... Maximum value of scan time

2)Scan time accuracy

The accuracy of the scan time observed in the PLC is 10ms.

For example, when the D9018 data is 5, the actual scan time is 40ms to 60ms.
