Example of Five Nested UDFBs
• Structured Text (ST) is much more efficient and easier to use than Ladder Logic, when
used for equations. If you are used to using the
RSLogix 500® CPT Compute instruction, a
great alternative is to use ST combined with either UDF or UDFB.
As an example, for an Astronomical Clock Calculation, Structured Text uses 40% less
Instructions.
Display_Output LD:
Memory Usage (Code) : 3148 steps
Memory Usage (Data) : 3456 bytes
Display_Output ST:

Memory Usage (Data) : 3456 bytes
• You may encounter an Insufficient Reserved Memory error while downloading and
compiling a program over a certain size. One workaround is to use arrays, especially if
there are many variables.
