<div class="markdown_content"><p>You can make that POU a timed task in task configuration. Create a task, set it to cyclic and define your interval time, then add which POUs you want to call in that task.</p></div>

<div class="markdown_content"><p>the answer is not as simple as the question.<br/> 1<br/> you can find the executiontime in the tasks when running, however communication is not done in the pou, but in the overhead , meaning you will need to do 2 measurements one with file and the other without.<br/> the diff is the time.<br/> 2<br/> this time is never the same and fluctuates due to timing of interupts etc.<br/> 3.<br/> check if buffer empty, then you can start next writing.<br/> a plc is not the best daqsystem so check what is needed and the speed needed</p></div>

<div class="markdown_content"><p>Is there a way to monitor how long a pou takes to execute, or how much 'spare' time there is before it is called again? I have a pou that writes data to a file and i want to be sure that i dont call it too fast. I only really need to do this within the codesys development environment.</p></div>
