Hai,
Consider we have two tasks task1 which resets a digital output d01 to 0 and corresponding to that task 2 which is waiting for the d01 value to become 0. Meantime is there any other situation where the d01 value changed by some other inbuilt functions or commands other than task 1 and task 2?

A cross connection would be about the only thing that would change the value, if no other rapid instructions are acting upon that signal.

Why wouldn't you want to use a syncident instead?

Then you would never need to worry about something else possibly changing a DO at the wrong time either though a programming mistake or cross connection, and you could still use DO1 in the future if you needed it.
