10.14.2 Local devices
Local devices are used independently by the programs.
The use of local devices permits programming of multiple "independent execution"
programs without regard to other programs.
Note that the local device data can be stored to the standard RAM and the memory card
(SRAM) only.
(1) Devices that can be used as local devices
The following devices can be used as local devices.
• internal relays (M)
• edge relays (V)
• timers (T, ST)
• counters (C)
• data registers (D)
(2) Saving and restoration of local device file
Programs which use the local device exchange the local device file data stored in the
standard RAM or the memory card (SRAM) with the data in the device memory of the
CPU module.
Therefore the scan time is extended by this data exchange time.
