Memory Description
Load Memory: The Load memory is used for user program without

symbolic address assignment or comments (these remain in the

memory of programming device). The Load memory can be either
RAM or EPROM. Load memory expandable with MMC Card.
Work Memory: The work memory (Integrated RAM) contains the
part of the program relevant for running user program. The program is
executed only in the work memory & System Memory Area.
System Memory: The system memory (RAM) contain the memory
elements provided by every CPU for user program. Such as the PII,
PIQ, Bit memory area, Timers, Counters, The system memory area
also contain the Block Stack & Interrupt Stack. In addition area above
load & work memory , the system memory of CPU also contains
temporary data for a block when it is called. This data is only valid as
long as the block is active.

This area contain the temporary data of a block

while the block is being executed. The L stack
also provides memory for transferring block
parameters and for recording internal results from
ladder logic network.

Structure Programming

You can write your entire user program in OB1. This is only advisable with simple
Program, which required little memory space.
Complex automation task can be controlled more easily by dividing them into
smaller tasks. Tasks are represented by corresponding program sections, known as
Blocks. This tasks is known as structure programming.

Function Block (FB)

FB belong to the blocks that you program yourself. A FB is a
block with memory. It is assigned a data block as its
memory (IDB).
The parameters that are transfer to the FB & the static variables
are saved in the IDB. Temporary variables are saved in the
Local Data Stack.
Data saved in the IDB are not lost when the execution of FB is
completed. Data saved in Local Data Stack are lost when
execution of the FB is completed.

Function (FC)
FC belong to the blocks that you program yourself. A FC is a
block without memory.
Temporary variables belonging to the FC are saved in the Local
Data Stack. This data is then lost when the FC has been
executed.
To save data permanently FC can also use Shared Data Block
(SDB).

Data Block (DB)

Data Blocks are the blocks that are used by logic blocks
in CPU program for storing the data.
DBs can be down loaded to the CPU as a part of your
program.
DBs does not contain any instruction.
The max size of the storage provided by DBs is
dependant on the CPU.

Instance data block (IDB)

An instance DB is assigned to every function block call that transfers
parameters. The actual parameters & the static data of the FB are
saved in the instance DB.
The variables declared in the FB determine the structure of the IDB.

Shared Data Block (SDB)

Share Data blocks are used to store User data that can be accessed
by all Other blocks.
