Is MBLogic a real time control system?
MBLogic is what is often referred to as a “soft real-time” system. That is, the user can set a scan rate target and the MBLogic soft logic platform will attempt to meet that target. However, since MBLogic runs on a normal non-real-time operating system, there can be no absolute scheduling guarantees. This is precisely the same principle under which most conventional PLCs operate. Scan rates are by “best effort”. However, under normal circumstances deviations from the target scan rate are small.
