1.1 Overview
Purpose of this section
This Reference Guide presents detailed reference data for each function block. The reference data is
organized in
alphabetical
order by the Function Block type identification label.
there is a list of Function Blocks
grouped in categories
as they appear on the Control
builder with a reference location for each.
The presented data covers each control block’s:
•
function,
•
inputs/outputs,
•
point name,
•
configuration parameters
•
index numbers (used for reading [RCON] and writing [WCON] block parameter constants)Note 1
•
technical reference
•
examples
Of course, data varies based on what is pertinent for each function block since they do not all have a point
name or configuration parameters and do not all require technical reference information.
Note 1: Select the index number of the required parameter from the specific function block reference data
and enter it in the appropriate field in the “Read Constant Properties” (RCON) or “Write Constant
Properties” (WCON) dialog box.
