C.3.1 Add (ADD)

When used in a Ladder Diagram, the ADD block finds the sum of two inputs and
sends the result to output.

Select the

tool (from the

Math Blocks

toolbar) and click on a ladder rung to

insert the following block:

Once the block is inserted, you can double-click on it to

configure

it.

Functional Description

This block always passes the Enable input state (EN) through to the Enable Out
output state (ENO) without change; when EN becomes on, ENO is turned on, and
when EN becomes off, ENO is turned off.

When EN becomes on, the block function is executed: the Input Values 1 and 2
(IN1 and IN2) are added together and the result is placed in the Output Value
(OUT).

The block function is executed every time the ladder is

scanned

, so long as EN

remains on. If EN becomes off, then OUT remains at its last calculated value until
EN becomes on and the block function is executed again.
