ST-language Program Example Section 5-6
• ST-language Algorithm
If bCheck is true, function block 2 is called to calculate the average value.
The 3 values data1, data2, and data3 are passed to function block 2 input
variables input1, input2, and input3 respectively. The result of the calcula-
tion (average) is returned to AVG.
Note The following diagram shows the Average_FB function block called
with specification method A (both function block’s variables listed).
IF bCheck = TRUE THEN
Average(input1:=data1,input2:=data2,input3:=data3,aver-
age=>AVG);
ELSE
RETURN;
END_IF;
Function Block 2
• Variable Table
• ST-language Algorithm
Calculates the average value of input1, input2, and input3 and stores the
result in average.
average:=(input1+input2+input3)/3;
