MAST Task and Loop Sampling
The processing task period and the control loop sampling periods are different.
By default, the MAST task lasts 20 ms, while the process control channel sampling times are 300 ms.
Optimizing Processor Loading
To optimize processor loading, the periodic processing of different process control channels is distributed over several task cycles.
Distribution of the processing in this way is an entirely automatic operation and does not require programming.
The order of loop distribution over the task cycles follows the order in which the loops were created.
Let there be 18 loops configured in the following manner:
-
14 loops configured to 300 ms (loops 1 to 14)
-
2 loops configured to 200 ms (loops 15 and 16)
-
2 loops configured to 100 ms (loops 17 and 18)
Process distribution:
NOTE: Control loops are processed (executed) during "Reg" time.
