Standardize Functions

Each elementary function can be developed in a Derived

Function Block (DFB) / IEC61131-3

Only one code to develop & maintain

Customize the data to your needs

Work purely symbolic with no memory mapping

Create your own structured data type (DDT)

Store your standards in libraries with versioning

All instances inherit any changes in the library

Provided by...


15/27


Standardize Functions (cont.)

A Functional Module is a collection of :

Sections of code

Variables Operator screens

that maps one function of your process

You want to save programming effort : Reuse Functional Modules many times in

one application or between several

applications thanks to the powerful import

wizard

Provided by ...
