Tasks A Logix5000 controller lets you use multiple tasks to schedule and prioritize the
execution of your programs based on criteria. This multitasking allocates the
controller’s processin time of the controller among the operations in your
application:
• The controller executes only one task at a time.
• One task can interrupt the execution of another and take control.
• In any given task, multiple programs can be used. However, only one
program executes at a time.
• You can display tasks in the Controller or Logical Organizer views, as
necessary.
