The OB1 is called cyclic, and the OB35 is called every 100 ms (you can change this time in HW-Config). But you can simply move the content of the OB1 to the OB35. Regards, yy1

The OB35 time can be adjusted from the HW configuration. Usually OB35 (or similar cyclic OBs) are used in process automation, where the update time is not critical (such as temperature control). This helps to relief the scan cycle of some load.

Sindhu Posts: 163 Rating: (0)	My project deals with Process control and process shutdown system.So why i have this doubt What im doing right now is process shutdown system: scaling of all analog values and the scaled values to be compared for HH or LL and the corresponding valve has to be shut off -This i have done in OB35.Then i find nothing to do with OB1 which is blank

Yes OB35 is used in process control for example to fix the time between each call of PID block to havecorrect integral and derivative action. OB3Xs arealso used to contain safety programs in S7-400F/FH which is definitely not your case. If your code is not divided between OB1& OB30 and there's nothing important require cyclic interrupt like PID blocks, why don't youput your code inthe free cycle OB1 for faster processing instead of waiting for cyclic interrupts. Best regards. H-H
