Example
Figure 2-43 shows a Function Block Diagram using a 2OR function block.
LS 1

SOL 1
Coil
This is a basic series-parallel circuit. If Limit Switch 1
(LS1) is ON and Limit Switch 2 (LS2) is ON, or
if pushbutton PB1 is ON, then Solenoid 1 is turned ON,
otherwise it is OFF. Note “power flow” can be delivered
in either of two paths to the solenoid.
PB1

This uses a basic 2 Input AND block
and a 2 Input OR block.
6 Function blocks are used.
