As we have already seen, a Logix project is organized into tasks, programs, and routines. When a new project is created, Logix automatically adds one of the following basic organizational units to the project:
- A task
- A program
- A routine
We have seen these units used many times in our controller organizer. The following screenshot shows the breakdown of tasks, programs, and routines in the controller organizer:
These units also allow us to select how often and at what priority programs and routines are run. Project organization also allows us to control and optimize the way our projects run to reduce the processing load on a controller.
In the next section, we will take a look at each organizational unit in more detail.
