Chapter 2 What is the SoftLogix System?
Determining Programs
Each program contains program tags, a main executable routine, other routines,
and an optional fault routine. Each task can schedule as many as 100 programs
(including equipment phases).
The scheduled programs within a task execute to completion from first to last.
Programs that are not attached to any task appear as unscheduled programs.
You must specify (schedule) a program within a task before the controller can
scan the program.
