Avoiding a CPU stop
Functions have been integrated into the CPU to ensure that the user programs can continue
running even when the CPU becomes overloaded and to prevent the CPU from switching to
"STOP" mode. The "Emergency mode" parameters are assigned in the "CPU function block"
faceplate, "Parameters view".
NOTICE
Utilization limit
When the CPU gets close to full capacity, the user programs will become sluggish. If this
starts to affect process mode, the user program will need to be reconfigured.
You can find additional information about this in the section ""Parameters" view for AS
objects (Page 165)".
