Hi, I want to do following. I'm writing function block which I'll name Vect_Mul: 1. How to add symbolic name? 2. As an inputs and outputI'm using arrays Now I want to use this FB in other function block (or function) as following: Result:=Vect_Mul(In1:=...,In2:=....); without any function declaration, how can I do that? Regards Lukasz |

Hi, I'm not sure that I understand your problem, but first you mustdefine (and save)a simbolic name to a block, in the symble editor. Then you can use it symbolically in SCL. |

Dear Lukasz, Only Symbolic names of standard blocks are recognized without any declaration... I have more times asked why there is no "module" file like in Visual Basic where you may define a list with constants and symbolics so that you don't have to define them seperately in the symbolic editor, but I asking that now for more years and there is until now no positiv reaction.... For your 2nd question you have only to define the "Result" if the Functionblock is defined somewhere else. |

I hope that the answer will help, if you have still questions, don't hesitate to ask me. |

I can assign block header in SCL. I can assign block comment in SCL. Can i assign symbolic name -without defining it in SCL? I mean something like FUNCTION_BLOCK FB1 'My_first_block'. It would be great if when i compliled such source STEP 7 would add My_first_block as symbol name for FB1. But i'm afraid that's not possible. Am i right? |

Hi, you can use FUNCTION_BLOCK "my_block" in SCL. However, before compile it, you must define in the simble table that "my_block" corresponds to FB1. |

That's not the situation. I wanted to compile only SCL files without thinking what's inside Symbol Table ^) |

Hi, in this case it's not possible use symbolic names to the FC/FB name. The SCL compiler must know wichtFC/FBnumber correspond asimbolic name. If this information is not present (symble table), it can't creatthis FC/FB. |

Hi, STEP7 works with Blocks and their numbers and SCL does the same. If you don't want to assign the symbol name to the FC, there is a possibility within the options of the SCL-Compiler. In my German version, I can select "Extras, Einstellungen, Bausteine erzeugen, Bausteinnummer automatisch erzeugen". The english version is "Options, Customize, Create Block, Create block numbers automatically" With this options, the SCL-Compiler sometimes creates the items of the symbol-table itself. It looks for an unusedblock-number andincludes the new symbol(it doesn't work all the time, but often ;-) I've no idea about the reason, when it does work and when not ... Creating UDT worked every time. I hope, I could help you. Thomas |

Good feature, but doesn't work with FB (and that's strange) :^) Well, this is clearly better then nothing^) |
