Interrupt Tasks Section 4-3
External Interrupts (CS
Series Only)
An external interrupt task will be executed when an interrupt is requested by
an Special I/O Unit, CPU Bus Unit, or Inner Board (CS Series only). The Spe-
cial I/O Unit or CJ Bus Unit, however, must be on the CPU Rack to request
execution of an external interrupt task.
List of Interrupt Tasks
Note 1. The Interrupt Input Unit must be mounted to the CPU Rack. For CJ1-H
CPU Units, the Unit must be connected as one of the five Units next to the
CPU Unit (slots 0 to 4). For CJ1M CPU Units, the Unit must be connected
as one of the three Units next to the CPU Unit (slots 0 to 2). I/O Interrupt
Units mounted elsewhere cannot be used to request execution of I/O inter-
rupt tasks
2. The Special I/O Unit or CPU Bus Unit must be mounted to the CPU Rack.
For CJ1-H CPU Units, the Unit must be connected as one of the five Units
next to the CPU Unit (slots 0 to 4). For CJ1M CPU Units, the Unit must be
connected as one of the three Units next to the CPU Unit (slots 0 to 2).
Units mounted elsewhere cannot be used to generate external interrupts.
