Let me start by asking my question and then explaining it: In RSLogix 5000, are the logic and devices written within Tasks that reside in the “Unscheduled Programs / Phases” section of the controller completely ignored or are we subject to “Double Coil” issues and similar problems when duplicate logic exists?
I’m working on a program where the upcoming modifications will be done in a couple of phases and I’m wanting to pre-program for the second phase but keep it inactive by way placing future Tasks in the “Unscheduled Programs / Phases” section of the controller. The way I have it planned, one particular Task is used in the first phase and will be replaced by an expanded version upon implementation of the second phase. Because I want to “finish” the code rather than cut & paste and modify during the future implementation, I would like to have duplicate coils other counting logic in both Tasks. Obviously I don’t want the processor confused by double-coils, etc.
Can anyone tell me how the processor truly handles Tasks stored in the Unscheduled Programs section?
