Project Organization Structure Program Initial Data (Optional) Main Program Interrupt routines (Optional) Subroutines (Optional) CPU process the initial data upon power on then starts scan cycle. CPU executes main program once per scan cycle. Only 1 main program in a project. For process specific interrupt events. CPU executes interrupt routines upon occurrence of interrupt event. At most 16 interrupt routines are allowable in a project. Invoked by main program or interrupt routines. At most 16 interrupt routines are allowable in a project. Configuration Hardware Configure CPU and expansion modules in the projects, address, function parameters, etc. Global variables (Optional) For declaring global variables required in the project.
Tasks Execution in CPU CPU executes a series of tasks continuously and cyclically. We take the cyclical execution of tasks as scan. Executing CPU Diagnostics: CPU executes self-diagnostics to check proper operation of CPU, memory areas and status of expansion modules. Read inputs: Read all the physical input channels and writes these values to input image areas Executing main program: CPU execute all the instructions in the main program continuously and updates memory areas. Processing Communication requests Writing outputs: CPU write the values stored in output areas to the physical output channels.
Tasks Execution in CPU If interrupt routines are attached in the program, CPU will interrupt scan cycle temporarily when interrupt events occur and immediately execute corresponding interrupt routines. Once interrupt routines is complete, it will back to breakpoint. Execution of Interrupt Routines
Steps to create new project The following simple example just illustrates common steps for creating and debugging a new project. Assume that we shall create the following project: project name: Example ; Hardware: a Kinco-K506-24AT CPU module; Control logic Toggle Q0.0---Q0.7 in turn and cyclically.
