5.8 Usage of FB

This section describes the procedure for using FB with GX Developer.

For details, refer to "GX Developer Version 8 Operating Manual (Function Block). "

5.8.1 Outline

The procedure for creating FB is shown below.

(1) Set up the intelligent function module parameter (initial setting/auto refresh setting).

(2) Convert the intelligent function module parameter into FB.

(3) Paste the FB to a sequence program.

(4) Convert (compile) the sequence program.

Next, a flowchart of procedures (1) to (4) is shown below.
