<div class="markdown_content"><p>Hi,</p> <p>Thanks for the reply!</p> <p>In the end I used a function block exactly like you recommended! It took a while for the penny to drop where I was going wrong, but I guess that the point of learning something new! </p> <p>I'm really getting into ST and IEC 61131-3!</p> <p>Thanks</p> <p>Karl</p></div>

<div class="markdown_content"><p><em>Originally created by:</em> scott_cunningham</p> <p>Functions do not keep memory - they are made to do some quick thing and that's it - no timers, no counters, etc. (there are ways around this, but avoid this - functions are for "a+b = c" type operations)</p> <p>Use one FB to be your signal generator. You can then link the output to all four other FBs inputs.</p></div>

<div class="markdown_content"><p>Hello!<br/> I'm fairly new to programming and I'm struggling using Functions. I'm writing a piece of code that will use one timer for 4 applications within the program... I understand FB's but it's functions I'm unsure of. I'm not sure how to call the function, or how to get a result out of it...</p> <p>The idea is to have a variable pulsed signal from the function, then use that multiple times and they will have their own setpoints... I've hit a wall at the moment, so any help will be appreciated.</p> <p>Thanks</p> <p>Karl</p></div>
