What this chapter contains

This chapter presents an overview of the function blocks of the ACS Drives Libraries.

Function block programming overview

The main advantage of using function blocks is that it is easy to control drives and there is
no need to master the details of the ABB Drives profile.
Function block programming also allows for a modular design and customization for the
requirements of the application in question. The ACS Drives Base Library in the starter kit
features several types of control blocks, for both basic and advanced applications.
