Working With Continuous Control (PID)
Function Blocks
Application programs consist of one or more logical units
called function blocks. Each function block performs part
of a program. These function blocks allow you to create
modular programs that are easily updated and
manipulated. Each function block can be used in one or
many programs.
Different types of function blocks can be combined to create
a program.
Continuous control function blocks let you coordinate and
interlock the loop control functions with the discrete and
sequential functions of ladder logic. The shared variables
in the Regent provide a convenient way to do this.
