5-2-18 Monitoring Task Execution Status and Task Execution Times
The parameters are listed in the following table.
*1 Entries are made on the Expanded number of I/O points for CJ-series Unit Dialog Box.
You can monitor the following items.
*1This is the actual time required from the point that task execution was started until it was completed. This
interval includes both the time to execute other tasks and the time for system services that were executed
from when task execution was started until it was completed.
*2This interval is the time required to execute only the task itself. It is the same as the task execution time for
the primary periodic task. For periodic tasks, this is the task execution time minus the time to execute
other tasks and the time for system services that were executed between the point that the execution con-
dition is met until execution is completed.

Min. The minimum value of the task execution time. Displayed. Not dis-
played.
Average The maximum value of the task execution time.
Displayed.
Max. The maximum value of the task execution time.
Set period The specified task period.
Period exceeded If the task execution time exceeds the task
period (i.e., if the Task Period Exceeded Flag
system-defined variable is TRUE), the amount
by which the time was exceeded is displayed in
the bar.
Task execution count Displays the number of executions of the task.
The value of the Task Execution Count system-
defined variable is displayed.

The time ratios are displayed with bars for the
system common processing, I/O refreshing,
user program execution, and motion control pro-
cessing. (Specific time values are not dis-
played.)

mation
The estimated average value of the real pro-
cessing time of task is displayed.
