Functions Related to the Cycle Time
Minimum Cycle Time
Set the minimum cycle time to a non-zero value to eliminate inconsistencies in
I/O responses. A minimum cycle time can be set in the PLC Setup between 1
and 32,000 ms in 1-ms increments.
This setting is effective only when the actual cycle time is shorter than the
minimum cycle time setting. If the actual cycle time is longer than the mini-
mum cycle time setting, the actual cycle time will remain unchanged.
PLC Setup
Watch Cycle Time
If the cycle time exceeds the watch (maximum) cycle time setting, the Cycle
Time Too Long Flag (A401.08) will be turned ON and PLC operation will be
stopped.

Monitoring
The maximum cycle time is stored in A262 and A263 and the present cycle
time is stored in A264 and A265 every cycle.
