Upon the occurrence of an event at its
REQ
input, an instance of this Simple
Function Block type computes the value of its
OUT
variable, followed by an event at its
CNF
output. The
OUT
value is computed via the
REQ
algorithm shown above, which uses the IEC
61131-3 FBD (Function Block Diagram) graphical language to implement
the formula
The external interface and functionality of this FB type are the same
as for the X2Y2
type. However,
the use of a simple EC
state, as shown in the ECC (Execution Control Chart) above, enables
the FBDK
to generate the much more efficient Java™ runtime
implementation shown below, eliminating the memory overhead of
internal FB instances and the execution overhead of internal event
propagation and ECC state tracking.
public final EventServer REQ = (e) -> { alg_REQ(); CNF.serviceEvent(this); } public void alg_REQ(){ OUT.value = (float)((X.value +Y.value )*(X.value -Y.value )); }
