The MAST or FAST task screen is divided into several areas. It allows you to manage Fipio inputs/outputs according to:
-
the task type (MAST or FAST),
-
the execution type (cyclic or periodic) and period,
-
the watchdog,
This mode can only be accessed for a Control Expert task declared as periodic.
In this mode, the refreshing of inputs/outputs is correlated with the task period. The system guarantees that inputs/outputs are updated in a single period. Only the inputs/outputs associated with this task are refreshed.
The calculated network cycle time is used to adjust the PLC (MAST or FAST) task period.
This period must be greater than or equal to the calculated network cycle time.
This mode can be accessed for a Control Expert task declared as periodic.
In this mode, no restriction is imposed on the task period. The period of the PLC task (MAST or FAST) can be less than the network cycle time.
If a refresh is performed in a network cycle, the task can be executed without updating the inputs/outputs.
Selecting this mode gives you the possibility of having the lowest possible task times for projects where speed is critical.
Network cycle time (calculated): this time is the network cycle time associated with a task. It is only displayed in the window if project generation is executed.
