The second method is based on absolute time, that is the comparison with the current time is made in the cycle, for example, in OpenSCADA it is implemented as follows:

if(SYS.time() > tm_to) { 
    tm_to = SYS.time()+10; //Setting the waiting threshold for 10 seconds more than the current time
    //Other actions with the periodicity of 10 seconds
}
