Exam 18: Introduction to the Rs Logix 5000 Function Block Programming Language

Function block software allows connecting either similar data types (e.g., BOOL and BOOL) or dissimilar data types (e.g., a BOOL reference connected to a pin expecting a SINT value).

The absence of a dot in a pin, in conjunction with the solid wire, identifies the tag as a(n) ____________________.

The function block workspace is referred to as a(n) ____________________.

When assigning the routine type, if not the main routine or a fault routine, select none. The routine will be a(n) ____________________.

The BNOT function block inverts the state of the input.

Briefly describe the Set Dominant instruction.

Briefly explain the operation of the Select function block.

In function block programming, AND along with OR function blocks are connected together using wires.

Any routine must be programmed completely in the same programming language.

Function block documentation includes a tag name, main operand description, a text box, and rung comments.

Configuring the way the function block sheet will display is set up in ____________________.

The ____________________ is a nonretentive off-delay timer with a built-in reset.

The small square box containing a dot to the right of an input reference is the connection point. What does the dot signify?

What are the four function block programming components?

Suppose a function block Boolean Exclusive OR (BXOR) has two inputs. Briefly describe the input values that produce a true output.
