The Safety Task

When you create a safety controller project, RSLogix 5000 software
automatically creates a safety task with a safety program and a main (safety)
routine.

Figure 18 - Safety Task in the Controller Organizer

Within the safety task, you can use multiple safety programs, composed of
multiple safety routines. The Compact GuardLogix controller supports one
safety task. The safety task cannot be deleted.

You cannot schedule standard programs or execute standard routines within the
safety task.

Safety Task Period Specification

The safety task is a periodic timed task. You select the task priority and watchdog
time via the Task Properties - Safety Task dialog box. Open the dialog box by
right-clicking the Safety Task and choosing Properties.
