You can hang as many output parameters for your FBs and FCs as you like - well, within the acceptable limits which is quite generous.

Hello everyone,

basically all important info described in the topic.

Just added here a picture for a better understanding what I mean.

Once a thought had arised perhaps there's a way to not multiply a dummy intermediate local vars to connect two more adresses for each block output.

Any thoughts please.

Get acquainted with your portal interface.  Seriously, use F1-Help to learn about the programming environment so you will pick up on the visual cues Siemens places there for us so you can take advantage of them.

In the working pane there is a horizontal bar towards the top of the working pane while your FB / FC is open.  Right in the middle of that dark bar is a down arrow.  Click the arrow.

That's the block interface section where you can add whatever tags you want for outputs from the FB/FC.

 Show me please how to do that I would like to look at this action. For example, please hang at least two (i.e. Global addresses) on Out  of FB  (picture provided).

How will you explain this behaviour?

I think branches multiplying is forbidden.

What you wish to do is not possible with LAD in Step7.

It is only possible to put the tag symbol on the output pins of the function call. Placing 'wiring' on the output pin in not possible in LAD. On the ENO pin can have 'wiring' connected to it.

Consider assigning an output state to a temporary tag (TEMP variable) if further processing is needed. Following code can then process the state of the temporary tag.

The CFC programming language can do what you wanted to do. But the S7-1200 (as example) does not have this language available.

If the blocks that need multiple outputs from a single "pin" are in different networks, you can use the same temp (intermediate) tag for all of them - provided it's used immediately after it's assigned a value.

 So I am multiplying dozens of dummy (intemediate) vars, as described  above in the first post, to distribute block output(s).

qwazee, what could you say on matter of this topic from the height of your experience?

[Topic (read)] Affecting global address from different points.

It is what it is. Other possibility shown in the attachment.

However one could ask at first place, why you distribute it having the output of the FB.
