Question 1

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

Accepted Answer

False

Question 2

Briefly describe the Set Dominant instruction.

Accepted Answer

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) ____________________.

Accepted Answer

subroutine

Question 4

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

Accepted Answer

The answer of The ____________________ is a nonretentive off-delay timer...

Question 5

Briefly explain the operation of the Select function block.

Accepted Answer

The answer of Briefly explain the operation of the Select...

Question 6

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

Accepted Answer

The answer of Suppose a function block Boolean Exclusive OR...

Question 7

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

Accepted Answer

A routine is a set of instructions that perform a specific task. In order for a routine to be executed, it must be written in a programming language that the computer can understand. If a routine is written in multiple programming languages, the computer will not be able to execute it.

Question 8

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

Accepted Answer

The answer of The function block workspace is referred to...

Question 9

The BNOT function block inverts the state of the input.

Accepted Answer

The BNOT function block is also known as the NOT function block, which means it takes the input and gives the opposite output or state. Therefore, the statement "The BNOT function block inverts the state of the input" is true. The BNOT function block stands for "bitwise not" and it inverts the state of the input. If the input is 1, it returns 0, and if the input is 0, it returns 1.

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?

Accepted Answer

The answer of The small square box containing a dot...

Question 11

What are the four function block programming components?

Accepted Answer

The answer of What are the four function block programming...

Question 12

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

Accepted Answer

The answer of Configuring the way the function block sheet...

Question 13

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

Accepted Answer

In function block programming, AND and OR function blocks are indeed connected together using wires to create more complex logical operations. In function block programming, AND and OR function blocks are connected together using wires to create complex logic circuits.

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).

Accepted Answer

Function block software typically requires that connected data types are compatible or can be implicitly converted, and directly connecting dissimilar types like BOOL and SINT without conversion is generally not allowed.

Question 15

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

Accepted Answer

The answer of The absence of a dot in a...
