4.1.2 CPU Sweep Modes
4.1.2.1 Normal Sweep Mode
In Normal Sweep mode, each sweep can consume a variable amount of time. The Logic
window is executed in its entirety each sweep. The Communications windows can be set
to execute in a Limited or Run-to-Completion mode. Normal Sweep is the most common
sweep mode used for control system applications.
The following figure illustrates three successive CPU sweeps in Normal Sweep mode. Note
that the total sweep times may vary due to sweep-to-sweep variations in the Logic
window, Communications windows, and Background window.
