Manage Tasks
A Logix5000 controller lets you use multiple tasks to schedule and
prioritize the execution of your programs based on specific criteria.
This multitasking allocates the controller’s processing time among the
different operations in your application.
• The controller executes only one task at a time.
• One task can interrupt another execution and take control.
• In any given task, only one program executes at a time.
