3-2-11 Checking the Size of the Function Block Definition
CX-Programmer can be used to check the size of the function block definition
being created using a similar method to checking the program capacity. The
procedure is as follows:
1.
Select
Memory View
from the View Menu.
2.
The function block definition size and number of function block definitions
will be displayed in the Memory View Dialog Box as shown below.
• The
Used #
,
Free #
, and
Max #
fields under
Function Block
refer to the
number of function block definitions.
When nesting, this area shows
the nesting level relationship
between instances (function block
definition names in parentheses).
The higher-level is the calling
block and the lower-level is the
called block.
Also, if there are array variables
or timer/counter variables, they
are displayed just below the
instance.
The variable names, data types,
addresses (allocated internal
addresses), and comments are
displayed for variables used in
the active instance selected in
the directory tree in the area on
the left.
FB Instance Viewer
Note: Variables can be
registered by dragging and
dropping them in the Watch
Window.
