Diagram settings
Description
Description
You can enter a description for the diagram here.
The description can comprise up to 1024 printable ASCII characters and line breaks.
Cycle time
Here you can configure the cycle time with which the PLC runs while executing the
diagram. A cycle time between 25 and 1000 ms can be configured. Larger values
enable a more complex diagram, i.e. more elements.
Increase the cycle time if you get a message that the diagram is getting too complex.
Treat all numerical I/O
values as 32-bit signed
integers
For backward compatibility, select this checkbox so that the diagram treats all I/O
values as 32-bit signed integers.

Description

The stoplight indicates the current state of the PLC:
Red: No diagram has been loaded. The PLC is not running.
Amber: A diagram has been loaded but the PLC is not running.
Green: A diagram has been loaded and the PLC is running.
Duty cycle The duty cycle of the PLC is displayed behind. This indicates both the current duty cycle and the
maximum duty cycle since the PLC started. The duty cycle is indicated as a percentage. A duty cycle
of 50% means that the PLC is using 50% of the available CPU processing time.
Make sure to leave enough CPU processing time for other processes in the system! The duty
cycle should be kept below 75%. If the diagram becomes more complex, increase the PLC cycle
time in the Diagram Settings. If the duty cycle is close to 100%, it is no longer possible to
operate the Fieldgate FXA42.
