BLOCKS
Organization Block (OB)
Organization blocks is the interface between the operating system and the user program. The entire program can be stored in OB1 that is cyclically called by the operating system or the program can be divided and stored in several blocks. OB 1 FB FB

FB

FB

Function (FC)
A function contains a partial functionality of the program. It is possible to program functions so that they can be assigned parameters. FB FC

Function Block FB
Function blocks offer the same possibilites as functions. In addition, function blocks have their own memory area in the form of instance data blocks. OB FB FC SFB SFC DB = Organization Block = Function Block = Function = System Function Block = System Function = Data Block

Data Blocks (DB)

Data blocks (DB) are data areas of the user program in which user data aremanaged in a structured manner.

Process Image
PII
The Process-Image Input table is found in the CPUs memory area. The signal state of all inputs is stored there.

PIQ
The Process-Image Output table contains the output values that result from the program execution. These output values are sent to the actual outputs at the end of the cycle.
