Context
The (time) contexts of the PLC module are listed in the Context tab. These are the tasks used in the PLC, which are shown in this tab in table form with their settings.
Context | Depending on the context selected here, the Data Area displays which Data Areas are updated by the selected context. |
Depends On | Defines the dependencies of a context (task). For the PLC this is "Manual Config". |
Data Areas | Existing Data Areas of the PLC Instance |
Interfaces | Interfaces of a TcCOM module |
Data Pointer | Data Pointer of a TcCOM module |
Interface Pointer | Interface Pointer of a TcCOM module |
The contexts are listed sorted by their ID in the table Result.
ID | Context ID of a task |
Task | Here a TwinCAT task can be assigned to a Referenced Task in the PLC. (Happens automatically, but can be adjusted manually here) |
Name | Name of the assigned TwinCAT tasks |
Priority | Priority of the assigned TwinCAT tasks |
Cycle Time (µs) | Cycle time of the assigned TwinCAT tasks |
Task Port | Task Port of the assigned TwinCAT tasks |
Symbol Port | Symbol Port of the assigned TwinCAT tasks |
Sort Order | Sequence position at which the PLC is to be called by this task. The lower, the more likely the module will be called. This option is only needed if multiple runtime modules are called by this task. By default, modules are executed in the order they are added to a task. |
