Task Flag Area 32 (TK0000 to TK0031)
Task Flags are read-only flags that are ON when the corresponding 
cyclic task is executable and OFF when the corresponding task is not 
executable or in standby status.

File Memory Memory Cards: Compact flash memory cards can be used (MS-DOS 
format).
EM file memory (CJ1-H and CJ1 CPU Units only): Part of the EM Area 
can be converted to file memory (MS-DOS format).

Constant cycle time  1 to 32,000 ms (Unit: 1 ms)
When a Parallel Processing Mode is used for a CJ1-H CPU 
Unit, the cycle time for executing instructions is constant.

Cycle Time
Programming Manual: 
6-1-1 Minimum Cycle 
Time
Cycle time monitoring  Possible (Unit stops operating if the cycle is too long): 10 to 
40,000 ms (Unit: 10 ms)
When a Parallel Processing Mode is used for a CJ1-H CPU 
Unit, the instruction execution cycle is monitored. CPU Unit 
operation will stop if the peripheral servicing cycle time 
exceeds 2 s (fixed).

I/O refreshing Cyclic refreshing, immediate refreshing, refreshing by 
IORF(097).
IORF(097) refreshes I/O bits allocated to Basic I/O Units and 
Special I/O Units.
With CJ1-H-R CPU Units the SPECIAL I/O UNIT I/O 
REFRESH instruction (FIORF(225)) can be used to refresh 
Special I/O Units whenever required (including allocated DM 
Area words). 
With the CJ1-H and CJ1M CPU Units, the CPU BUS UNIT 
I/O REFRESH (DLNK(226)) instruction can be used to 
refresh bits allocated to CPU Bus Units in the CIO and DM 
Areas whenever required.

Timing of special refreshing 
for CPU Bus Units
Data links for Controller Link Units and SYSMAC LINK Units, 
remote I/O for DeviceNet Units, and other special refreshing 
for CPU Bus Units is performed at the following times:
CJ1 CPU Units: I/O refresh period
CJ1-H and CJ1M CPU Units: I/O refresh period and when 
the CPU BUS UNIT I/O REFRESH (DLNK(226)) instruction 
is executed.
