Set Cycle ST Time Functional Description
Symbol in the function
block diagram
The device provides one ST01 set cycle time function block.
This function block allows a set cycle time to be defined. This cycle time is adjusted automatically if the maximum cycle time used in the program is less than this specified value. The maximum possible set cycle time is 1000 ms. The set cycle time cannot be implemented if the cycle time of the program is longer than it.
Example
A program consisting of the bit circuit diagram and function block generates a mean cycle time of approx. 12 ms. Setting the set cycle time to 30 ms will ensure that the cycle times are kept constant at this value.

Memory Requirement
The set cycle time function block requires 24 bytes of memory plus 4 bytes if the function block input is configured with an NU constant.
