### Input parameter

Identifier | Data type | Default value | Description
--- | --- | --- | ---
delay | Time | T#1MS | Time by which the program is delayed

## Functional description

The function extends the PLC cycle by the time specified at the `delay` input.
Thus makes it easy to simulate PLC program load by increasing the cycle time.

WARNING
  The function achieves the cycle time extension by blocking the cycle for the specified time.
  Use this only to simulate program load and not in productive environments.
