15.1.1.1 What is a function block?
A function block (FB) can be compared with an integrated circuit that contains a specific
control logic and delivers one or several values when being executed.
The function blocks are classified alphabetically in a "function library".
Each function block has a unique identifier and a processing number which defines the
position at which the function block is calculated during runtime.
