5-6-4 Clearing Constant Cycle Time Exceeded Errors

When using the constant cycle time function, normally the cycle time will no longer stay constant (i.e., will vary depending on the real cycle time) if the constant cycle time is exceeded once. To return to a constant cycle time even if the cycle time has been exceeded once, turn ON the Constant Cycle Time Exceeded Error Clear Bit (A509.15) (i.e., set to 1).

This function allows a constant cycle time to be restored and variations in I/O processing time to be kept to a minimum even if the cycle time is temporarily long as a result of special processing, e.g., initialization at the start of user programs in each Module.

Normal Operation

The constant cycle time function is cleared if the cycle time exceeds the set constant cycle time.
