As usual an absolutely good lesson. You understand the difficulties of the lerners. You are a good teacher. Many thanks Sir.

[@mortenlund1418]

Ditto

[@jordanj3880]

Great video sir. I usually can't bare to listen through the lessons of most PLC channels on here, but you nailed it. Keep up the great work, it's opening doors for many people's futures

[@armchairfreedomfighter]

11/10 keep recording and uploading these videos, so much info, pleasure to watch

[@walid5419]

I was learning about Function Blocks and this is by far the best demonstration and how to use them. Thank you

[@JasonFerguson-hg5mp]

I have studied the things you covered in this video in my past and I thought I understood but... several things you did in this video was so helpful, like the top In/Out, when you gave this example a visual real world application I understood it so much better. You are a great teacher on these topics and I have learned so much today since I found your videos. Thanks for your way of presentation and please let me encourage you to keep it up because you have encouraged me. Great job!!!

[@FantasyBladeLeague]

Thank you for this video - the best one so far on PLC - and I have seen them a lot!!! Keep up the good work!

The Best content of programming Siemens PLCs that I have found so far!! keep it up with the good work :D

[@dustinivey346]

Thanks for sharing so much knowledge. Please keep posting more videos. Your way of explaining these topics makes everything clear.

[@michaelking1702]

I’ve been to classes given by Siemens and your examples, hands down are much much better. Thank you for taking your time to help me learn this

[@kennygonzalez2106]

Great job explaining the difference between FC's & FB's using the cups/volume controllers as an example!

Thank you for the wonderful explanation. Great job

[@michaelcoxfitness6089]

yea coming from allen bradley and reading a Siemens book this is more of memory allocation than putting a bunch of shit on a ladder logic and not caring for memory as much. Thank you! new sub here!

The best PLC teacher I have ever seen, I'm working in Oil & Gas field as an instrumentation technician and these tutorials are really helping me to improve my career, my objective is to become a Control System Engineer, hope you make some DCS tutorials with PCS7 or other product. Thank you Sir.

[@hapticmusing]

The full PCS7 SITRAIN training takes 6 weeks!

Where is the setting to define new tags by default as Global Memory instead of Local Temp? Thanks for sharing all this knowledge

[@michalinasredniawa5512]

I love You, great job!!!!!

[@durgeshmishra5364]

Hi Philipp, thanks for this informative tutorial! Could you also make content on DBs including advantages of using them with the help of some application example?

[@hegamurl7434]

Hi Durgesh, Good Idea! I will make one in the future, don't know when yet though. Stay tuned!

[@kaktus994]

Very nice video and explanation with examples. So, basically, if I got this right, we can think of a function block as a class and DBs act as the instances (objects) of it? And FCs inside of an FB are its methods?

[@zebulonzhou6912]

Thanks, it helps me a lot.

[@sanjeevbhogal6818]

[@hegamurl7434]

No need to thank me! You are very welcome

[@sparrow8683]

Thank you for the lesson sir. Can we use variables from global memory in a function block?

[@JPHolling]

Amazing! thank you

[@swapnilshelke1]

Hi just like viewing the content you post. Explanation is very good. I can code in ladder but now I want to get hands on STL and scl. I know the commands but when it comes to nesting or using jus instructions I gets very tricky. Is there any way I can read and practice? Thanks in advance

[@moatazebrahem7017]

What a great session 😍 I have a question please answer me to learn more from you The Function block have a memory so we will use it when we have to save a last value like counter and IEC timer but how simatic timer work without data block and how can it save the last value ?

[@StefanAdrianBalauca]

Hi and thank you a lot for your hard work . I have a question, when you add the volume part to the "unicorn FB" this not made all the other glasses have the same volume part? I checked my instances after this and all of them had the volume part not just the "unicorn". I did a mistake ?

[@nachomartin2061]

Thanks!!! Nice video

[@emdhasan]

Thanks for this good video

[@ajitpalsingh2526]

very good video. thanks. can you make a video in tia v14 in scl for two axis control for servo motors.

[@ariezackny329]

Thank you 🙏

[@dineshdevvrat3519]

Can you tell about more on FC's. Like, Call by Reference and Call by value functionality.

[@phuongnguyenthiminh9493]

thank you for the video. I know more thing

[@RyderDK]

Thanks for the video. I'm curious as a beginner at PLC programming, and does using a function block provide the capability of stopping a process and restarting it from the exact point it was interrupted?

[@Manne-st9mr]

I got a question, why did you to that last "move" where you moved the value from the static to the output, ca 16:45 in the network 3. Thanks for a answere in advanced.

[@successtrackstudycenter373]

hi sir nice to see your video s. if possible explain and execute a small real time scenario program with functional block concept.

[@sudeeppandey1045]

Thank you for nice lesson.. I want to ask a basic question that if I can do same thing of storing data through functions why there are 2 different blocks to write a program.. there must be some solid reasons for that .. if u may tell me 🙏

[@achiever2569]

Thank you

Thanks brow!

''a unicorn with integrated remote'', hilarious!!

[@user235fhrdiib]

What we need to use, when we are doing analog processing of signal (scale operation) FB or FC???

[@einaruriel2344]

THANKS MATE THUMBS UP!

[@gwenettedot23]

hi, can you also make tutorial video using analog output signal for example is a filling tank using potentiometer. your video is always worth watching, keep it up because I learned a lot from your video...thanks a lot

[@hegamurl7434]

Hi Gwen, I actually had in mind starting an "Analog Signal Processing" series... as the topic is quite complex, I'll most likely split the topic up in several parts. Thanks for the feedback!

[@bestyav5529]

Frankly speaking May God grant you long life to teach these stuff. FC and FB notion was fucking vague to me 😂😂😂. Thanks a million... My Brother, I made a simple FC block for automatic up/down counting .then the counter must reset and stop after up/down counting 4times .I'd like to call my FC multiple times. Then for the block to work in OB1 i have parameters to fill: 1) a push button to Enable the Counter 2) counter preset value 3) Counter value which is just a memory to view the count 4) count cycle to define how many times id like the counter to do up/down. But after calling my FC twice as i want to have two different preset values and two different count cycle the system misbehaves😂 i mean there is conflict between counter preset values and count cycle ⭕. How to fixe that??

[@djlee4794]

thank you

[@darthenx2585]

So I was used to creating FCs to keep adding code to a program. I kept treating them as subroutines from Allen-Bradley. Is this wrong to do? Or do I need to keep adding OB-1 blocks to keep my program well organized?

[@szolek8472]

Hello, I have a question, very often I create functions and use them only once in a program, just to divide my OB block into clear parts, in my opinion it makes the program clean and readable. In those functions of course, I use access to global data, PLC tags, etc. I'm not sure if this is correct program structure,? you said that inside of functions we should always use function panel and input/output etc. parameters ? By the way graet job, I really like way that you explain PLC programing.
