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

Question 1

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

Answer 1

False

Question 2

Briefly describe the Set Dominant instruction.

Answer 2

The Set Dominant instruction is programmed when the Set input has precedence over the Reset input. Use this instruction to ensure that the output tag has been latched, overriding the status of the reset parameter.

Question 3

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

Answer 3

subroutine

Question 4

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

Question 5

Briefly explain the operation of the Select function block.

Question 6

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

Question 7

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

Question 8

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

Question 9

The BNOT function block inverts the state of the input.

Question 10

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

Question 11

What are the four function block programming components?

Question 12

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

Question 13

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

Question 14

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).

Question 15

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