This
bit can be programmed to activate an external warning
for a low battery volt
-
age.
The operation of the battery alarm can be disabled in the PC Setup if desired.
Refer to 3-6-4 PC Setup for details.
3-4-9 Cycle Time Error Flag
SR
bit 25309 turns ON if the cycle time exceeds 100 ms. The ALM/ERR indicator
on
the front of the CPU
will also flash. Program execution will not stop, however
,
unless
the maximum time limit set for the watchdog timer is exceeded. T
iming
may become inaccurate after the cycle time exceeds 100 ms.
3-4-10 I/O Verification Error Flag
SR
bit 25310 turns ON when the Units mounted in the system disagree with the
I/O
table registered in the CPU. The ALM/ERR indicator on the front of the CPU
will also flash, but PC operation will continue.
To ensure proper operation, PC operation should be stopped, Units checked,
and the I/O table corrected whenever this flag goes ON.
3-4-11 First Cycle Flag
SR
bit 25315 turns
ON when PC operation begins and then turns OFF after one
cycle
of the program. The First Cycle Flag is useful in initializing counter values
and other operations. An example of this
is provided in
5-14 T
imer and Counter
Instructions.
3-4-12 Clock Pulse Bits
Five
clock pulses are available to control program timing. Each clock pulse bit is
ON
for the first half of the rated pulse time, then OFF for the second
half. In other
words, each clock pulse has a duty factor of 50%.
These
clock pulse bits
are often used with counter instructions to create timers.
Refer to 5-14 Timer and Counter Instructions for an example of this.

Caution:
Because the 0.1-second and
0.02-second clock pulse bits have
ON times of 50 and 10 ms, respec-
tively, the CPU may not be able to
accurately read the pulses if pro-
gram execution time is too long.
