System function blocks (SFBs)
System functions are blocks without memory that are already integrated into the operating
system of the CPU and can be called up by the user whenever necessary.
System functions (SFCs)
System functions are blocks without memory that are already integrated into the operating
system of the CPU and can be called up by the user whenever necessary.
User program
The user program contains all instructions and declarations for processing the signals used
for controlling a system or a process. In SIMATIC S7 the user program is structured and
