    Hello,

    I am looking for a way to read the last PLC cycle time in us. I tried the Cycle_Time from Oscat, unfortunately, this is not accurate enough for me. I need it in LTIME format. Any suggestions?

    I am using SEW- PLC and CODESYS V3.5.9

    @Update another questions.
    On a the Codesys Control V3 manual I read that:

    Where can I find these settings and set my freewheeling task to (almost) no sleep? I need the freewheeling task to be as fast as possible. As told already I have a time critical application. I installed the cmpSchedule library but have no clue how to use it.

    My goal with this is to get a freewheeling time below 1ms. When this is not possible I will choose for a cyclic task.

    Why would you need a cycle time in Β΅s ?

    Doing calculations of displacement, product tracking and measurement of product length on a high-speed conveyor. Long story short; I need it for accuracy.
