Confirming whether a Task (Program) Is Executing or Stopped (CS/CJ-series PLCs Only)
Previous version (Ver. 3.3) New version (Ver. 4.0)
CS/CJ-series PLCs supported
tasks, but the execution status
could be confirmed for the
whole program only and not
for each task.
The following executing/stopped status is displayed for
every task (see note) in the project space.
Note: Cyclic tasks only. Interrupt tasks not included.
•
Running: Indicated as READY (execution enabled) or
RUN (executing status).
•
Stopped: Indicated as INI (not executing status) or
WAIT (standby status).
This function improves debugging efficiency when
using multiple tasks.
•
Checking Whether the Same Address Is Being Used by Another Task (Program): Cross
Reference Report Function (CS/CJ-series PLCs Only)
Previous version (Ver. 3.3) New version (Ver. 4.0)
CS/CJ-series PLCs supported
tasks, but they did not check
whether the same address
was being used by another
task (program).
By selecting Duplicate usage over programs in the
cross reference report function, a list can be checked
for any bits/words that have been allocated an address
already being used by another task (see note).
This function can be used to easily check whether the
same address is being used by another task
(programmer) when two or more programmers are
creating multiple tasks.
Note: Cyclic tasks only (interrupt tasks not included).
Improvements to Password Protection
•
Password Protection for a Single User-set Task or Multiple Tasks (CS/CJ-series CPU Unit
Ver. 2.0 or later)
Previous version (Ver. 3.3) New version (Ver. 4.0)
Password protection
(reading/editing prohibited)
could be set.
Password protection (reading/editing prohibited) can be
set for a user-set single task or multiple tasks
(programs).
This function provides security and prevents the loss of
intellectual property for specific tasks (programs).
•
Allowing/Prohibiting Creation of Program Files for File Memory (CS/CJ-series CPU Unit
Ver. 2.0 or Later)
Previous version (Ver. 3.3) New version (Ver. 4.0)
The user could use file
memory operations to transfer
program files (.OBJ) to a
Memory Card, even if UM
(user memory) read protection
was set with a password.
When a password is registered for the whole user
program or individual tasks, an optional setting can be
selected at the same time to allow/prohibit creation
(backup) of the program file (.OBJ).
This function prevents copying of user programs to
Memory Cards.
