Time-controlled processing In addition to the cyclic processing, time-controlled processing is
also available for processes requiring control signals at constant
intervals, e.g. non-time critical monitoring functions performed every
second.
Interrupt-driven processing If the reaction to a particular process signal must be particularly fast, this
should be handled with
interrupt-driven processing. With, for example,
a process interrupt, triggered via an interrupt generating module, you can
activate a special processing section within your program.
Processing according to
priority
The types of processing listed above are handled by the CPU
according to their
priority.
Since a fast reaction is required to a time or interrupt event, the CPU
interrupts cyclic processing to handle a time or interrupt event. Cyclic
processing therefore has the lowest priority.
