3-5-11 Power OFF Counter
AR 23 provides in 4-digit BCD the number of times that the PC power has been
turned off. This counter can be reset as necessary using the PV Change 1 op-
eration from the Programming Console. (Refer to 7-1-4 Hexadecimal/BCD Data
Modification for details.) The Power OFF Counter is refreshed every time power
is turned on.
3-5-12 Cycle Time Flag
AR 2405 turns ON when the cycle time set with SCAN(18) is shorter than the
actual cycle time.
AR 2405 is refreshed every cycle while the PC is in RUN or MONITOR mode.
3-5-13 Link Unit Mounted Flags
The following flags indicate when the specified Link Units are mounted to the
Racks. (Refer to 3-5-14 CPU-mounting Device Mounted Flag for CPU-mounting
Host Link Units.) These flags are refreshed every cycle.

3-5-14 CPU-mounting Device Mounted Flag
AR 2415 turns ON when any device is mounted directly to the CPU. This in-
cludes CPU-mounting Host Link Units, Programming Consoles, and Interface
Units. This flag is refreshed every cycle.
3-5-15 FPD Trigger Bit
AR 2508 is used to adjust the monitoring time of FPD(––) automatically. Refer to
5-25-12 FAILURE POINT DETECT – FPD(––) for details.
3-5-16 Data Tracing Flags and Control Bits
The following control bits and flags are used during data tracing with TRSM(45).
The Tracing Flag will be ON during tracing operations. The Trace Completed
Flag will turn ON when enough data has been traced to fill Trace Memory.

3-5-17 Cycle Time Indicators
AR 26 contains the maximum cycle time that has occurred since program execu-
tion was begun. AR 27 contains the present cycle time.
Both times are to tenths of a millisecond in 4-digit BCD (000.0 ms to 999.9 ms),
and are refreshed every cycle.
