Instruction Behavior

The GEI instruction behaves as follows:

  • The GEI instruction enables execution of general periodic interrupt programs.
  • Once the GEI instruction is executed, the enabled status is maintained.
  • Interrupts set by a parameter can be executed after the GEI instruction.
  • When the CPU switches from STOP to RUN mode, all interrupt programs
  • When the CPU has switched from STOP to RUN mode, all interrupt programs are disabled by the DI instruction.
    • To use general interrupt programs, execute the GEI instruction.

Automatic Enable

Interrupt programs of CPU types such as the PLC-AES/ES are enabled with the GEI instruction as a default. These CPUs do NOT need to execute the GEI instruction when the RUN/STOP key switch is changed from STOP to RUN.
