Execution of processing for tag data links depends on the unit version of the CPU Unit and the
Sysmac Studio version as given below.
* If a unit version of 1.02 or earlier is set on the Sysmac Studio, the tag data links are processed in the built-
in EtherNet/IP port service in the system services.
The CPU Unit uses system services to perform any processing other than the processing of tasks.
System services include the following processing.
*1 The CPU Unit exchanges data between CJ-series Special Units and the memory words that are allocated to
them during I/O refreshing.
The system services are executed in the unused time between execution of the tasks and tag data
link service. If sufficient time cannot be obtained to execute the system services, the processing of
tasks with an execution priority of 17 or higher will be interrupted to allocate sufficient time. You can
set the time for execution of the system services in the System Service Monitoring Settings on the
Sysmac Studio.
There is no priority in the processing of system services. All of the processing is executed in parallel
with time slicing.
