Posted 30 Nov 2017 Immediate refresh means usually to refresh the physical I/O point. (!) Instead of waiting for the end of the scan to update the physical inputs and outputs, you can do this during the scan.http://accautomation.ca/understanding-the-plc-program-scan/ The above link is an explanation of the program scan. Hope this helps you out. Regards, Garry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted 1 Dec 2017 One thing to keep in mind when using immediate refresh: The I/O point referenced by the immediate refresh can change state in the middle of a program scan which could mean that any rungs which reference the I/O point before the refresh get different results than those after the refresh. In most cases this won't make any difference, but there is a possibility that it could cause weird results in the logic which are extremely difficult to debug.
