Execution
The JXR can be synchronous or asynchronous depending on the implementation
of the DLL. The code in the DLL also determines how to respond to scan status,
rung-condition-in status, and rung-condition-out status.
Type Checking This table describes the type checking that occurs between the Logix Designer
application and the external routine for the parameters that they pass.
For more details on creating a DLL by using Visual Studio, see Create a Visual
Studio Project on page 117 .
