Defining the minimum cycle time of the PLC project
Detecting the task utilisation of the application (T
Task utilisation
)
10.2.2 Detecting the task utilisation
Initial situation
A project has been completely created with, for instance, a Motion task and two tasks of
lower priority.
How to detect the task utilisation T
Task utilisation
:
1. For a first measurement of T
Task utilisation
the cycle times of all cyclic tasks in the PLC
system are set to 'long'.
• Example: Motion task = 10 ms, all other cyclic tasks = 20 ms
2. Log in and load project.
3. After the system has started up completely, press the Reset button on the Task
processing tab.
• The displayed task runtimes are reset.
4. Read the maximum computing time of the task with the highest priority that is
shown in the task configuration (T
Task utilisation
).
