ProMinent gamma/l - Copying and Linking a Function Block

9. Close the Hardware Configurator.
2.3 Copying and linking a function block
The supplied function blocks are embedded in the ProMinent
sample project “Gammadp.zip”; this is the only way that they
can be transported.
The principle steps:
1 - Download the zipped installation package (such as “Gamma‐
Sigma_S7_Funktionsblock.zip”) from the website (prerequisite).
2 - Drag the ProMinent sample project “Gammadp.zip” out of the installa‐
tion package (prerequisite).
3 - Create a function in your own project (here FC1).
4 - Save the zipped ProMinent sample project “Gammadp.zip” in the
Simatic Manager and open it - in this process it will simultaneously be
unzipped - retrieved.
5 - Copy the function block or the function blocks from this location into
your own project.
6 - Link the required function blocks into your own function (in this case
FC1).
7 - Generate a data block.
8 - Enter the addresses in the function block.
9 - Enter the function parameters in the function block.
