Ascon Function Blocks Libraries
In this chapter all the libraries present in the Ascon installation of the OpenPCS
programming tool and all the function blocks present in the firmware of the MP-01
device are listed
. For each library the complete list of the function blocks with a
little description is also indicated. For more details please refer to the specific
documentation for the tool in question.
8-1 AsconACLib
The
AsconACLib
