Section 2-2
Instance Name
This is the name of the instance.
• Instance names can be up to 30,000 characters long.
• Instance names cannot contain spaces or any of the following characters:
! “ # $ % & ‘ ( ) = - ~ ^ \ | ‘ @ { [ + ; * : } ] < , > . ? /
• Instance names cannot start with a number (0 to 9).
There are no other restrictions.
The instance name is displayed above the instance in the diagram.
Function Block
Instance Areas
To use a function block, the system requires memory to store the instance’s
internal variables and I/O variables. These areas are known as the function
block instance areas and the user must specify the first addresses and sizes
of these areas. The first addresses and area sizes can be specified in 1-word
units.
When the CX-Programmer compiles the function, it will output an error if there
are any instructions in the user program that access words in these areas.
