6. Function blocks
6.1 Manufacturer function blocks
6.1.5.3 DB - Data function block
General
easyE4 base devices provide 32 data function blocks
DB01…DB32.
This function block makes it possible to copy bytes, words,
or double words to an operand for only one cycle.
Operating principle
When there is a rising edge at function block input T_, the value at function block
input I1 will be passed to an operand connected to function block output QV. The
operand will keep that value until the next time it is overwritten,
meaning it can be used, for example, to save reference values for function blocks.
Note that the data function block only transfers the value in the program
cycle in which it detects a rising edge. When the operand linked with
output QV is overwritten by the program  after the value is transferred,
the value transferred with the data function block is lost.
