The process image contains the image of the inputs and outputs of a PLC module:
● The signal states of the inputs in the process image are refreshed in each program cycle
(see What are organization blocks? (Page 31)) by the operating system of the PLC.
● The signal sta
tes of the outputs in the process image are written to the outputs of the
respective output module in each program cycle by the operating system of the PLC.
A machine or a process is generally controlled by means of the signal states of the outputs.
The following figure shows how PLC tag table, tags in the user program, bit memories, and
inputs and outputs of the PLC are linked to each other in principle.

The bit memory area above all is used to save interim results. The values of the tags that are
addressed in the bit memory area are stored in the system memory and not transferred to
the modules. The data type of the tag determines how much memory a tag occupies in the
memory. A tag of the BOOL data type, for example, occupies only one bit in the memory. A
tag of the INT data type occupies 16 bits in the memory. Tags are not to overlap in a
memory area. The address of a tag must be unique.
