Setting the Cycle Time Base Value Section 3-5
3-5 Setting the Cycle Time Base Value
The cycle time base value is a multiplier applied to the actual device cycle
time. When the cycle time base value is 1, the simulator runs based on the
same cycle time as the actual device. If the value is larger than 1, the simula-
tion can be made slower than the actual device, so that delay times and dis-
crepancy times can be checked. For example, if the delay function block is set
to 300 ms and the cycle time base value is set to 10, the delay in the logic
simulator will be 3 seconds.
Use the following procedure to set the cycle time base value. The setting can-
not be changed if debug is being executed or paused.
1,2,3... 1. Select Debug - Cycle Time Base Value .
The following dialog box will be displayed.
2. Set the Cycle Time Base Value between 1 and 1,000, and then click the
OK Button.
The product of the cycle time and the cycle base value (ms) will become
one cycle of the debug process.
Note The cycle time is determined by the Network Configurator based on
the program size and other factors. It is only displayed for reference
in this window and cannot be modified.
Note (1) If the cycle time base value is set to a small value and the CPU perfor-
mance of the computer is low, CPU utilization will become high. When
this happens, it may create a time error in the input pulse or feedback set-
tings. This may interfere with correct operation of the program. If this oc-
curs, increase the cycle time base value to reduce the error.
(2) The cycle time base value set here does not affect debugging using the
Timing Chart Window.
