In this example, the same POU header is used for all programming languages. For an example
Example
using IL (instruction list), please refer to the online help.
POU header
All input and output variables which are used for programming the function block TM_10ms_FB are
declared in the POU header. This also includes the function block (FB) itself. By declaring the FB
you create a copy of the original FB. This copy is saved under Alarm_Control, and a separate data
area is reserved.
This example uses variables. You may also use constants for the input variables.
Body
As soon the variable Start_contact becomes TRUE, the timer Alarm_control will be started. The
variable EV of the timer is set to the value of SV. As long as Start_contact is TRUE, the value 1 is
subtracted from EV every 10ms. When EV reaches the value 0 (after 10 second as SV = 1000 with
the timer type TM_10ms_FB), the variable Alarm_Relay_2 becomes TRUE.
As soon as the value of the variable EV of the timer is smaller than or equal to 500 (after 5s) and
EV is unequal 0, Alarm_Relay_1 is set to TRUE.
