Omron cx-programmer 5.0-function block operation Benutzerhandbuch

For details, refer to 2-5 Precautions for Instructions with Operands Specifying
the First or Last of Multiple Words.

When an instance is executed the first time, initial values can be set for input
variables, internal variables, and output variables. For details, refer to Initial
Value under the preceding descriptions of input variables, internal variables,
and output variables.

The values of internal variables can be retained through power interruptions
and the start of operation. When the Retain Option is selected, the variable
will be allocated to a region of memory that is retained when the power is
interrupted and PLC operation starts.

Enter the logic programming using the registered variables.

Addresses cannot be directly input into instruction operands within function
blocks. Addresses that are directly input will be treated as variable names.

Exception: Input directly or indirectly specified addresses for Index Registers
IR0 to IR15 and Data Registers DR0 to DR15 directly into the instruction
operand. Do not input variables.

Input constants directly into instruction operands.

• Ladder programming language: Enter hexadecimal numerical values

after the # and decimal values after the &.

• Structured text (ST language): Enter hexadecimal numerical values af-

ter 16# and enter decimal numerical values as is.
