A function is described as a set of elementary blocks. language.

  • This feature makes it possible to simplify FFLD and FBD diagrams when a trivial calculation has to be entered.
    • It also enables you to use graphic features for representing a main algorithm as text is used for details of implementation.
  • Expression must be written in Structured Text (ST) language.

FBD Language Example

A complex ST expression can be entered in any variable box of an FBD diagram if the box is not connected on its input.

FFLD Language Example

A complex ST expression can be entered on any kind of contact and on any input of a functionClosed 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. or function blockClosed A function block groups an algorithm and a set of private data. It has inputs and outputs..
