Introduction.

Workshop PG5
FUPLA programming
Besides binary, the most important families are:
INTEGER:
All the FBoxes you’ll ever need for arithmetic with integer values. Also functions
such as compare values or move register content from one register to the next.
Note: Lines which contain an integer value are green.
FLOATING
DECIMAL:
FBoxes for arithmetic operations such as Sinus Log etc. Note: Lines which contain
decimal values are yellow.
CONVERTER:
COUNTERS:
These FBoxes not only convert Integer values to decimal values and vice versa, but
also convert the content of your register into formats such as BCD, IEEE, decimal
and so on.
Groups all the basic counters as specified in the norm IEC 1131.
TIME RELATED:
Groups all the basic timers as specified in the norm IEC 1131 plus some nice additional
timers time related FBoxes like “Chronometer”; “Cycle Time measurement”
and functions for the build in real time clock.
