Eaton easyE4 User Manual

6. Function blocks
6.3 UF - User function block
All the user function blocks in this directory are saved as a separate uf7 file in the
\ProgramData\Eaton\easySoft 8\UserFBs directory.
As soon as a user function block from the archive is used in the main program, it will
be automatically copied to the Project directory. If you edit the user function block
after that, there will be a discrepancy between the contents of the user function
block from the project and the block from the archive.
This discrepancy will be indicated in red. In other words, the user function block in
the archive will be shown in red in the list of operands and function blocks, as will
the tab for the user function block in the work pane.
Please note that function blocks shown in red in the Archive directory cannot be
used in the main program!
