FQM1 Instruction Execution Times and Number of Steps
The following table lists the execution times for all instructions that are available for the FQM1.
The total execution time of instructions within one whole user program is the process time for program execu-
tion when calculating the cycle time. (See note.)
Note User programs are allocated tasks that can be executed within cyclic tasks and interrupt tasks that sat-
isfy interrupt conditions.
Execution times for most instructions differ depending on the conditions when the instruction is executed. The
execution time can also vary when the execution condition is OFF.
The following table also lists the length of each instruction in the Length (steps) column. The number of steps
required in the user program area for each of the instructions varies from 1 to 7 steps, depending upon the
instruction and the operands used with it. The number of steps in a program is not the same as the number of
instructions.
Note (1) Program capacity for the FQM1 is measured in steps. Basically speaking, 1 step is equivalent to 1
word.
Most instructions are supported in differentiated form (indicated with
↑, ↓, @, and %). Specifying
differentiation will increase the execution times by the following amounts.
(2) Use the following time as a guideline when instructions are not executed.
