ļ¬ Overall Task Operation
The primary periodic task and periodic tasks operate based on the task period of the primary peri-
odic task (also known as the primary period). The primary periodic task and priority-5 periodic task
include operations such as system common processing and motion control in addition to I/O refresh-
ing and user program execution. Processing of motion control instructions in the programs is exe-
cuted during the next motion control (MC) period after the END instruction is executed in the task.

(A) A dotted line represents a transition to another task.
(B) A dashed-dotted line means that processing for that
task has been interrupted.
(C) A double line means that all processing for that task
has been completed.
