A The clearing of the I memory area is not
affected by the Force function.
While writing Q memory to the physical out-
puts, the CPU applies the force value as the
B The initialization of the outputs values is
not affected by the Force function.
When reading the physical inputs, the CPU
applies the force values just prior to copying
the inputs into I memory.
C During the execution of the startup OBs,
the CPU applies the force value when
the user program accesses the physical
input.
During the execution of the user program
(program cycle OBs), the CPU applies the
force value when the user program accesses
the physical input or writes the physical out-
D The storing of interrupt events into the
queue is not affected.
Handling of communication requests and self-
test diagnostics are not affected by the Force
E The enabling of the writing to the out-
The p
rocessing of interrupts during any part of
the scan cycle is not affected.
