 Which PLC main program is running.
 Which PLC error table is used.

 The PLC utilization
The processing time of the PLC (time for one PLC cycle) is given as a percentage: 
100% is the equivalent of a run time of 1 ms at a cycle time of 21 ms.
Depending on the currently running machine functions and the PLC program used, values 
considerably above 100% may be displayed for the PLC utilization. You do not have to take 
any action!
Only when the permissible PLC utilization is exceeded, is the error message PLC: time out 
displayed. --> Contact your machine tool builder!
