Operating modes of a CPU
These CPUs are intended for small and medium sized applications and are
supplied with an integrated 24V power supply. The CPU contains a
standard processor with internal program memory. In combination with the
System 200V peripherals the unit provides a powerful solution for process
automation applications within the System 200V family.
A CPU supports the following modes of operation:
•
cyclic processing
•
timer processing
•
alarm controlled processing
•
priority based processing
Cyclic processing represents the major portion of all the processes that
are executed in the CPU. Identical sequences of operations are repeated in
a never ending cycle.
Where a process requires control signals at constant intervals you can
initiate certain operations based upon a
timer , e.g. not critical monitoring
functions at one-second intervals.
If a process signal requires a quick response you would allocate this signal
to an
alarm controlled procedure. An alarm may activate a procedure in
your program.
The above processes are handled by the CPU in accordance with their
priority . Since a timer or an alarm event requires a quick reaction the CPU
will interrupt the cyclic processing when these high-priority events occur to
react to the event. Cyclic processing will resume once the reaction has
been processed. This means that cyclic processing has the lowest priority.
