Calling a Function Block
Like other blocks, function blocks are stored under a specific number in the program memory (e.g.,
FB47). The numbers 240 to 255 are reserved for the integral function blocks (in CPU 103 version
8MA02 and higher).
You can program function block calls in all blocks except data blocks.
7-14
for an operand with bit address
for an operand with byte address
for an operand with word address
for a binary pattern (16 digits)
for two absolute numbers, one byte each,
each in the range from 0 to 255
for a hexadecimal pattern (maximum 4
digits)
for a character (maximum 2
alphanumeric characters)
for a time (BCD-coded time) with time
base 1.0 to 999.3
for a count (BCD-coded) 0 to 999
for a fixed-point number in the range
from -32768 to +32767

Constants
DBx Data blocks. The C DBx operation is
executed.
OBx Organization blocks are called
unconditionally (JU ... x).
FBx Function blocks (permissible without
parameters only) are called
unconditionally (JU..x).
PBx Program blocks are called
unconditionally (JU..x).
SBx Sequence blocks are called
unconditionally (JU..x).
T Timer. The time should be assigned
parameters as data or be programmed
as a constant in the function block.
C Counter. The count should be
assigned parameters as data or be
programmed as a constant in the
function block.
