C Determining the Cycle Time
The program cycle is the complete execution of the pro-
gram, primarily the reading in of the inputs, the processing
of the program and the subsequent reading out of the out-
puts. The cycle time is the time required to execute a pro-
gram once in full.
The time required for a program cycle can be determined
using a short test program. The test program is created in
LOGO! and produces a value during processing in parame-
terization mode from which the current cycle time can be
calculated.
Test program
1. Create the test program by linking an output or marker
to a threshold switch and by switching a clock pulse
generator at its input, which is switched on by a hi sig-
nal.

2. Parameterize the two blocks as shown below. A clock
pulse is generated in each program cycle based on the
cycle time of 0 seconds. The time interval of the thresh-
old switch is set to 2 seconds.
