Tasks
A Logix5000 controller lets you use multiple tasks to schedule and prioritize the
execution of your programs based on specific criteria. This multitasking allocates
the controller’s processing time among the different operations in your
application:
• The controller executes only one task at a time.
• One task can interrupt another’s execution and take control.
• In any given task, multiple programs may be used. However, only one
program executes at a time.
