What is a function block?
A function block (FB) can be compared with an integrated circuit that contains a specific control
logic and delivers one or several values when being executed.
• The function blocks are classified alphabetically in a "function library".
• Each function block has a unique identifier and a processing number which defines the position
at which the function block is calculated during runtime.
