  Edition 12.2003 
3.18.4.4 Configuring the function blocks 
For the "automatic mode, memory card" mode, only the TAB and/or 
TAB_D function blocks must be configured, depending as to whether 
table values, REAL data type and/or DINT data type have to be 
managed. Each table may only contain values of one data type. If several 
tables are to manage various data types, then a TAB or TAB_D should 
be configured for each table. 
The TAB and TAB_D function blocks should be configured in a sampling 
time greater than or equal to 32ms. The following connection settings are 
required: 
CTS=  0 
US =  Not assigned 
NAM = 
Name of the table file (with file name extension which was defined 
when "saving", e.g. MS Excel) 
AUT =  1 (automatic mode activated) 
The configuring is shown in the following diagram: 
 
Fig. 3-96  Configuring the TAB function block 
The table function blocks for 2 tables are shown in the following diagram. 
The table values, which are now managed by the function blocks, can 
now also be used by additional function blocks, e.g. FB TABCAM.
