Introduction to Local Logic Programming 247
It is important to understand the concept shown in Figure 113. before writing local logic
programs. The local logic program runs to completion each position loop sample period.
The program then re-executes the complete local logic program the next position loop
sample period. This execution method differs from the motion program execution method.
The motion programs execute each command to completion in a sequential fashion,
without any time guarantees. This concept is illustrated in Table 53. , which lists the first four
local logic execution periods for the local logic and motion programs shown in Figure 113.
In the example, note that the local logic program executes to completion each position loop
sample period. The motion program statements execute until the controlled motion
achieves the desired result. For additional details concerning motion program statement
execution, consult chapter 7.
