Function Block Specifications
Section 2-1
Example
Like internal variables, the values of output variables are retained until the
next time the instance is executed (i.e., when EN turns OFF, the value of the
output variable is retained).
Example:
In the following example, the value of output variable CV will be retained until
the next time the instance is executed.
Note 1. The same name cannot be assigned to an input variable and output vari-
able. If it is necessary to receive a value from an external variable, change
the variable inside the function block, and then return the result to the ex-
ternal variable, use an input-output variable.
2. When the instance is executed, output variables are passed to the corre-
sponding parameters after the algorithm is processed. Consequently, val-
ues cannot be written from output variables to parameters within the
algorithm. If it is necessary to write a value within the execution cycle of the
algorithm, do not write the value to a parameter. Assign the value to an in-
ternal variable and use an AT setting (specified addresses).
Initial Value
An initial value can be set for an output variable that is not being retained, i.e.,
when the Retain Option is not selected. An initial value cannot be set for an
output variable if the Retain Option is selected.
The initial value will not be written to the output variable if the IOM Hold Bit
(A50012) is ON.

The value of the output variable (CV) is passed to the parameter
specified as the output destination, which is D100 in this case.

OUT32 is a DINT variable, so
