Manage Tasks
With a Logix5000 controller, you can use multiple tasks to schedule and
prioritize the execution of your programs based on specific criteria. This divides
your controller’s processing time among the different operations in your
application. Remember that:
• the controller executes only one task at one time.
• one exception task can interrupt another and take control.
• in any given task, only one program executes at one time.
