4. Function Blocks: Defined

Function blocks are standard logic routines from which you create logic modules for routing product, generating errors, disabling the control site, and so on. You set the parameters on each function block so that it meets your specific needs in the production environment. Further, two or more function blocks can be grouped together to meet your production criteria.

There are an abundant number of function block templates to choose from in various categories as follows:

Function block	Description
Conditional	Evaluates 'If-Then-Else' conditions.
Core	Performs all-purpose function.
Diagnostic	Assists in resolving RCO issues.
Include	Enables the inclusion of a file into the generated script.
Output	Produces an output in the system, for example generating an alarm.
PRT	Performs PRT functions.
Routing	Performs routing functions.
