If this is your first time using the PAC8000 product, it is very likely that you are not
familiar with the blocks included in the Workbench. Though blocks may have similar
names among different products, each product implements blocks in a unique way.
To clarify the implementation of the PAC8000 product function blocks, a user’s
manual is installed in the product’s Documentation directory:
<installation_directory>\Documentation\Function Blocks Document.pdf
This document lists each available function block and a brief description of the
block’s function. From this high-level description, you can determine the correct block
to use and then access the function block online Help to understand the block’s
attributes, as well as its input and output parameters.
