GETCPUACCOUNT 1:

The PLC task cycle ticker can be read with this function block. The PLC task cycle ticker is only incremented while the task is being executed. The numerical value is a 32 bit integer, which, independently of the CPU's internal clock rate, is output in a form converted into 100ns ticks. The number is refreshed to a precision of 100ns every time the PLC task is called, and can be used, for instance, for timing purposes. One unit is equivalent to 100 ns.
