Configuration of PLC Task and Synchronisation Mode¶
In the AC500 Control Builder the PLC program is written and assigned to a PLC task. For task creation and parameterization the dialog “task configuration” is used.
The task configuration is evaluated when a PLC project is loaded and the corresponding sync mode is activated for the EtherCAT® master. The synchronization will be activated if the parameter task type is set to the value “triggered by external event”. The mode of synchronization can be selected with the parameter event. Between the value of the parameter event and the synchronization mode exists the following relationship:
Parameter | Value | Description |
---|---|---|
Event | Ext_CouplerX_InputAny | Sync mode 1 |
Ext_CouplerX_Input2Any | Sync mode 2 | |
Ext_CouplerX_InputAny_high_prio | Sync mode 1 with increased priority | |
Ext_CouplerX_Input2Any_high_prio | Sync mode 2 with increased priority |
