4 INTELLIGENT COMMUNICATION MODULE REPLACEMENT
4 - 4
(3) Replacement of intelligent communication module AD51-S3
The BASIC program of AD51-S3 is incompatible with that of QD51/QD51-R24. Analyze the existing
program to create a program with AD51H-BASIC.

Programming language GPC-BASIC AD51H-BASIC ×
Change the BASIC program to
AD51H-BASIC.
Number of tasks Max. 8 2 ×
Review the BASIC program, and
reduce the number of tasks to
two or less.
Task start conditions
• Start at power on
• Start by interrupt from the
programmable controller CPU
(Impossible when compiled BASIC
is run.)
• Start by a real time interrupt
• Start at power on
• Start by interrupt from the
programmamble controller CPU
(This cannot be performed when
Compiler BASIC is used.)
• Start by start request from another
task
When the task is started using a
real time interrupt, the condition
must be changed.
