The area of memory used for function blocks depends on the model of CJ2 CPU Unit that is used, as
described in the following table.
The CJ2M CPU Units have a special area called the FB Program Area to store function block defini-
tions. The CJ2H CPU Units do not have this area.

Creating instances of function blocks (i.e., calling function block defini-
tions and transferring parameters) uses user program memory.
Function block definitions use memory in the FB Program Area, a spe-
cial area for function blocks. If the capacity of the FB Program Area is
exceeded, the user program area is used.
