Function blocks - input and output types, structure
See also Chapter Function blocks - overview (Page 15).
Properties
Function blocks are stored internally in the SIMOCODE pro system, e.g. for the
administration of various control stations, for the set control function, or for motor protection.
Every function block has a name and can be equipped with inputs and outputs. The inputs
and outputs are used for the internal connection of the various function blocks and, thus, the
setup of a device-internal logic instead of an externally wired logic in the control circuit.
The following table shows the possible input types of the internal function blocks of
SIMOCODE pro:

Input
Example
Plugs (binary) Function blocks in the basic unit may have binary plugs. These are connected to binary sockets
via software. They are relevant for parameterization, e.g. with SIMOCODE ES.
Plugs (analog) Function blocks in the basic unit may have analog plugs. These are connected via software to
analog sockets. They are relevant for parameterization, e.g. with SIMOCODE ES.
Example: 2-byte word for cyclic send data.
Screw terminals Screw terminals are outside, e.g. "BU Inputs" function block. Control devices and auxiliary
switches are normally connected there.
Control data from the
communication bus
e. g. from the DP master to SIMOCODE pro
