I have a few plc’s. Mitsubishi fx1s10. Fx3s10. Omron CP1E . Crouzet millennium 3. I also have an old GOT 1000 HMI. I have CXDevelopper, omron cx1 and crouzet free software. I want to end up with just one brand. What do you suggest I keep?

[@ScantimeAutomationTraining]

Keep them all! But if we were to recommend one, Omron is a great starting tool! We also have an online course called the PLC Programming for Industry course which is perfect for beginners and uses Omron as the learning platform due to its ease of use.

What is the actual difference between function and function block? They both do the same thing? Also, when you started this program it would be doing a divide by 0; how come your CPU didn't go into fault?

[@ScantimeAutomationTraining]

A function block retains data while a function doesn't.

[@ferrumignis]

A function block is analogous to a class in object oriented languages. After you write the function block you define one or more instances and each instance uses its own memory space for internal variables. Like other OO languages you can create a new function block based on an existing one, and add extra functionality (inheritance).
