3.  The execution of OB 1 and of all OBs up to priority class 15 is delayed. 
In the case of cyclic interrupts, the generation of new OB requests is disabled, so no new 
cyclic interrupts are stored and as a result no new request errors occur. 
The system waits until the update is completed, and then generates and processes a 
maximum of one request per cyclic interrupt OB. The time stamp of delayed cyclic 
interrupts cannot be evaluated. 
4.  Transfer of all data block contents modified since link-up. 
5.  The following communication jobs are acknowledged negatively: 
–  Reading/writing of data records using HMI functions 
–  Reading diagnostic information using STEP 7 
–  Disabling and enabling messages 
–  Logon and logoff for messages 
–  Acknowledgement of messages 
6.  Initial calls of communication functions are acknowledged negatively. These calls 
manipulate the work memory, see also 
System Software for S7-300/400, System and 
Standard Functions
. All remaining communication functions are executed with delay, after 
the update is completed. 
7.  The system disables the generation of new OB requests for all OBs of priority class > 15, 
so new interrupts are not saved and as a result do not generate any request errors. 
Queued interrupts are not requested again and processed until the update is completed. 
The time stamp of delayed interrupts cannot be evaluated. 
The user program is no longer processed and there are no more I/O updates.  
8.  Generating the start event for the cyclic interrupt OB with special handling. 
 
Note 
The cyclic interrupt OB with special handling is particularly important in situations where 
you need to address certain modules or program parts within a specific time. This is a 
typical scenario in fail
-safe systems. For details, refer to the 
S7-400F and S7-400FH 
 and 
S7-300 Automation Systems, Fail-safe Signal Modules
 
 
To prevent an extension of the special cyclic interrupt, the cyclic alarm OB with special 
handling must be assigned top priority.
