Use Pre-defined Libraries

The Libraries toolbox allows you to select the functions.

For an exhaustive list, refer to:

• PLC Standard Libraries
• PLC Advanced Libraries

• 
  

• • The (All) category at the top enables you to see the full list of available blocks.
    
  • You can access a specific function by entering its initial letters on the keyboard (if the elapsed time between two strikes is greater than 1 second, the KAS IDE "Integrated development environment" An integrated development environment is a type of computer software that assists computer programmers in developing software. IDEs normally consist of a source code editor, a compiler and/or interpreter, build-automation tools, and a debugger considers the last letter as the new initial).

Drag-and-drop into the editors

1. When the function is selected, move it with a drag-and-drop operation in the program editor
2. In the editor, right-click on a function to set the number of input pins if the block allows an extension.

Drag-and-drop into the dictionary

If you have selected a function block, you can drag-and-drop it in the program declaration within the Dictionary toolbox, to create an instance of that object.
