Function block output connections
Function blocks provide various output signal connections for connecting to physical
outputs or to other function blocks.
The output of a function block can be connected to several subordinate function
blocks, but not to several output elements (physical outputs or EFI outputs). If you
want to control several physical outputs with a single function block, use the Routing
1:N function block. The behaviour of the outputs is explained at the description of the
individual function blocks.
You can choose whether error and diagnostics outputs are displayed. In the
configuration basic setting of the function blocks only the Enable output and some
further outputs are selected (e.g. Reset required). In order to display error and
diagnostics outputs increase the number of outputs on the I/O settings tab of the
function block properties.
