operations
1 The operating system can call special OBs by itself ( 2.3.1 and 6.2).
2 When using standard function blocks, do not use parameter ”0”.
3 Special function blocks are already integrated in the operating system ( 6.1).
4 Data blocks DB 0 and DB 1 are reserved for the block address list, the configuration DB and the error DBs.
5 A data block can be referenced up to DW 255 with ”L DW” or ”T DW”, with DB 2 and DB 3 reserved as error DBs.
6 The possible basic operation set is limited for the CSF and LAD methods of representation ( Table 2-1).
