5-2 The CPM1A Cycle
The overall flow of CPM1A operation is as shown in the following flowchart. The
CPM1A is initialized internally when the power is turned on. If no errors are
detected, the overseeing processes, program execution, I/O refreshing, and
Peripheral Device servicing are executed consecutively (cyclically). The aver-
age cycle time can be monitor from a Peripheral Device.
