Function Blocks

Reference Information
A variety of processes can be created easily from a single function block by
using parameter-like elements (such as fixed values) as input variables and
changing the values passed to the input variables for each instance.
Example: Creating 3 Instances from 1 Function Block Definition
If internal variables are not used, if processing will not be affected, or if the
internal variables are used in other locations, the same instance name can be
used at multiple locations in the program.
Some precautions are required when using the same memory area. For
example, if the same instance containing a timer instruction is used in more
than one program location, the same timer number will be used causing coil
duplication, and the timer will not function properly if both instructions are exe-
cuted.
