Program Control Instructions

Certain applications may need programming techniques designed to override a
group of non-retentive outputs or update I/O ahead of the usual I/O scan time.
The program control instructions satisfies this need.

Program control instructions are divided into two categories:

Output Override
Immediate I/O Update

The table below illustrates specific instructions for these categories:

Program Control Instructions

Output Override

Immediate Update I/O

Master Control Reset

Immediate Input Update

Zone Control last State

Immediate Output Update

The output override, or zone type instructions, operate similar to a hardwired
master control relay in that they can affect a group of outputs in the user
program. But these instructions not a substitute for a hardwired master control
relay, which provides emergency I/O power shutdown.

Master Control Reset

Symbol: -(MCR)-

Purpose: Controls a group of outputs.

Syntax: Two instructions are required: (Figure 6.3)

To begin the zone (start fence)
To end the zone (end fence)
Program the start fence with a set of input conditions.
Program the end fence unconditionally.
Do not next MCR zones with other MCR or ZCL zones.
Each zone must be separate and complete.
