When your processor is in the run mode, all outputs are active.

Scan Time

Scan time is the amount of time it takes the processor to monitor and update
inputs and outputs, and to execute instructions in memory in accordance with
your program. The scan is performed serially; first the I/o image table is
updated, (other parts of the data table are not scanned), then the user program
area is scanned.

There are two ways to measure I/o scan time:

Program the rungs in Figure 6.2. The operations section of this manual

provides general instruction on how to program rungs.

Add the execution values for each instruction by using Table 6.A. The sum

of these values is the I/O scan time.
