Function Block
Definition Name
Item
Number of function block definitions CS1-H/CJ1-H CPU Units:
Number of instances
Number of instance nesting levels
Number of I/O variables
The following table shows the items that must be entered by the user when
defining function blocks.
Item
Function block The name of the function block definition
definition name
Language The programming language used in the function block defini-
tion. Select ladder programming or structured text
Variable definitions Variable settings, such as operands and return values,
required when the function block is executed
• Type (usage) of the variable
• Name of the variable
• Data type of the variable
• Initial value of the variable

Algorithm

Enter the programming logic in ladder or structured text.
• Enter the programming logic using variables.
• Input constants directly without registering in variables.
Comment Function blocks can have comments.
Each function block definition has a name. The names can be up to 64 char-
acters long and there are no prohibited characters. The default function block
name is FunctionBlock@, where @ is a serial number.
