Functions
A function calculates a result according to the current value of its inputs.
A function has no internal data and is not linked to declared instances. of the Pipe Network Editor are accessed via context sensitive menus.
When the Pipe Network Editor is used, an ST Structured text - A high-level language that is block structured and syntactically resembles Pascal. file containing all the calls to the Motion / Pipe Network Library is automatically generated during compilation, and based on the graphical description of the Pipe Network.
Pipe Network Editor is optional
Although strongly recommended, the Pipe Network Editor is optional.
Use it to graphically create a Pipe Network or to manually instantiate Pipe and Pipe Blocks by calling the appropriate functions in the Pipe Library directly The orientation components of a vector in space. from the IEC International Electrotechnical Commission - A not-for-profit, non-governmental international standards organization that prepares and publishes International Standards for all electrical, electronic and related technologies. 61131-3 editors (SFC Sequential function chart - It can be used to program processes that can be split into steps.
The main components of SFC are:
- Steps with associated actions.
- Transitions with associated logic conditions.
- Directed links between steps and transitions., FBD Function block diagram - Describes a function between input variables and output variables. A function is described as a set of elementary blocks., ST, IL Instruction list - This is a low-level language and resembles assembly., FFLD).

Grid
The layout of the editor is grid oriented The rotational components of a vector in space., which means that items (except the comments) are placed in the middle of a rectangular area called a grid unit.

-
Comments are not centered in the grid unit but merely placed at the cursor position
Position means a point in space which is described by different coordinates.
Depending on the used system and transformation it can consist of a maximum of six dimensions (coordinates).This means three Cartesian coordinates in space and coordinates for the orientation.
In ACS there can be even more than six coordinates.
If the same position is described in different coordinate systems the values of the coordinates are different..
