Detecting the task utilisation

Initial situation
A project with, for instance, a motion task and two 2 tasks of a lower priority is created

completely.

How to detect the task utilisation T

Task utilisation

:

1. For a first measurement of T

Task utilisation

the cycle times of all cyclic tasks in the PLC

system are set to 'long'.
• Example: Motion task = 10 ms, all other cyclic tasks = 20 ms

2. Log in and load project.
3. After the system has started up completely, press the Reset button on the Task

processing tab.
• The displayed task runtimes are reset.

4. Read the maximum computing time of the task with the highest priority that is

shown in the task configuration (T
