For the same time point, faster cycle times are executed first.
A function block that is placed after a function block in the
execution flow must have the same or a higher cycle time and/or
execution order. See Figure 38.

Figure 38: Cycle time and execution order
A function block type can be defined to be a member of one or several cycle times.
A function block instance can be set only to one cycle time.

Figure 39: ACT: Concept of Execution order sequence
In the conceptual MainApplication example in Figure 39, the execution order of
the main function block in the execution order group 2 defines the execution orders
needed in group 1 and 3. The preceding logic done with function blocks in group 1
must have a lower execution order than the ones in group 2. The following function
