Entering cycle time within PLC-object

How to enter the cycle time:

1. Open a PLC-object.

2. Search for the following line in the opened editor for the PLC-object:

   Syntax TASK task-name(INTERVAL := TIME#numberms, PRIORITY := number);	Example TASK DefaultTask(INTERVAL := TIME#500ms, PRIORITY := 38229);

   After you have created a project, a cycle time of 500 ms is already specified within the existing PLC-objects.

3. Replace the entered cycle time (e.g. TIME#500ms) by the requested cycle time. Enter the cycle time as duration →literal; maximum: TIME#20d
   Observe that your used →target system might influence the timing scheduling when calling tasks (see "Properties and restrictions specific to the target system").

   Examples for duration literals

   You must enter duration data, such as days (d), hours (h), minutes (m), seconds (s) and fractions of a second (ms for milliseconds, us for microseconds, ns for nanoseconds) or any combinations of them, as shown in the following table. You can separate the duration units by underscore character. Moreover, you can enter the units in upper- or lowercase letters, for example s or S for seconds.

   Description	Examples
   Duration literals without underscore
   Short prefix	T#14ms, T#14.7s, T#14.7m, T#14.7h, T#14.7d, T#14h12m, t#5d14h12m18s3.5ms
   Long prefix	TIME#14ms, time#14h12m
   Duration literals with underscore
   Short prefix	T#14h_12m, t#5d_14h_12m_18s_3.5ms
   Long prefix	TIME#14h_12m, time#5d_14h_12m_18s_3.5ms

   Observe that your used →target system might influence the usage of duration literals in logi.CAD 3 (see "Properties and restrictions specific to the target system").
