Importing A User Function Block - Eaton easyE4 series Manual

6.3.8 Importing a user function block

A user-function-block-specific plausibility check will not be run when copying and past-
ing between user function blocks. All checks are identical to those run on the main pro-
gram.
Within the context of the plausibility check for a device, the system will check whether
the total number of user function blocks per device is less than or equal to 127. If the
plausibility check for a device outputs an error / warning for a user function block in the
"Report output" dialog box and the view for the user function block is not active or open
in the Programming view, double-clicking on the error / warning will activate, or, if
applicable, open the Programming view for the user function block and show exactly
where the error or warning is found.
Depending on the corresponding results, the following messages may appear after a
plausibility check:
FB input / FB output %2 is not part of the user function block's interface
l
The number for an FB input / FB output was not assigned without gaps
l
FB input %2 exceeds the maximum number of a total of 12 bit and analog inputs
l
FB output %2 exceeds the maximum number of a total of 12 bit and analog outputs
l
Operand %2 is not supported in user function blocks!
l
The number for operand %2 falls outside the permissible value range for user func-
l
tion blocks.
The import function makes it possible to load user function blocks (uf7 files) from a
folder. This function is available in the Programming view.
In order to be able to import user function blocks, all open user
function blocks must be unmodified.
If they are not, the following message will be output: If open
user function blocks are modified, an import will not be pos-
sible. Please save all modified user function blocks first..
Select a uf7 file and click on "Open"
The selected user function block will be added to the user function block management
group only if it meets certain criteria.
The following messages can occur:
User function block is already found in easySoft 7.
l
You do not need to import it. Do you want to select a different file?
A user function block with different content is already found in easySoft 7. Since it is
l
used in the project and the function block interfaces are different, the import is not
allowed. Do you want to select a different file?
