<div class="markdown_content"><p>In the codesys program under the task configuration a POU can be set to Cyclic task, Event task and Freewheeling task. i am usually using the Cyclic task for my program but i didn't sure <strong>When to use the Freewheeling task and the Event task in a POU. </strong> I mean in what condition that I have need to set a POU's task attribute to the Freewheeling and the Event task. Please advise.</p></div>
