Program Control Instructions

This chapter describes these program control instructions:

output

override

immediate I/O update

Some applications 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 satisfy this need.

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

The following table illustrates specific instructions for these categories:

Output Override

Immediate Update I/O

Master Control Reset

Immediate Input Update

Zone Control Last State

Immediate Output Update

Master Control Reset and Zone Control Last State

Purpose: A Master Control Reset (MCR) establishes a zone in the user program
in which all non-retentive outputs are turned off simultaneously.

Important: Retentive instructions (-(U)-, -(L)-, -(RTO)-) should not be placed
within an MCR zone, because the MCR zone maintains retentive instructions in
the last active state when the start fence goes false.

A Zone Control Last State (ZCL) instruction allows control of one or a group of
outputs in more than one manner in the same program. It establishes a zone in
the user program which controls the same outputs, through separate rungs, at
different times.
