Description

A timed-cycle loop different from the main loop. The controller performs commands at regular intervals.

  • The timing interval is an integer in seconds or minutes. The controller performs the commands in the loop at these intervals.
  • Max. three timed cycle loops are allowed in a program. They have the same priority as the main loop, i.e., they run concurrently.
  • Comparison between the main loop and the timed cycle loop:

Same: All commands within the block are executed once in one cycle.

Difference: The main loop cycle is usually tens of milliseconds, whereas the timed loop cycle interval is specified during programming and is at least one second. In other words, after all the commands in the block are performed, no commands are performed during the set time interval. The program then waits until the next interval begins.
