PLC Scan Time:
The PLC program is executed as part of a repetitive process
referred to as a scan. A PLC scan starts with the CPU
reading the status of inputs. Next, the application program is
executed. Then, the CPU performs internal diagnostics and
communication tasks. Finally, the CPU updates the status of
outputs. This process repeats as long as the CPU in the run
mode. The time required to complete a scan depends on the
size of the program, the number of I/Os, and the amount of
communication required.
