Information About Using
Interrupts
The purpose of this section is to explain some fundamental properties of the User
Interrupts, including:
• What is an interrupt?

What is an Interrupt?
An interrupt is an event that causes the controller to suspend the Program
Organization Unit (POU) it is currently performing, perform a different POU,
and then return to the suspended POU at the point where it suspended. The
Micro830 and Micro850 controllers support the following User Interrupts:
• User Fault Routine
• Event Interrupts (8)
• High-Speed Counter Interrupts (6)
• Selectable Timed Interrupts (4)
• Plug-in Module Interrupts (5)
