4.1.1 Program Block Overview

You can combine several programs as a whole program with FPWIN GR7.
In this case, one program is referred as a program block (PB).
You can specify an execution order and download a registered program block to PLC.
There are three following types of program blocks and the execution timing depends on where
to register them.
 Applicable models
Depending on the PLC used, the behavior of a program block varies.
PLC Description
FP7 Supports three types of program blocks.
FP-XH, FP0H, FP0R (Version 1.2 or later) Supports program blocks that execute every scan.
FP2/2SH, FPΣ, FP0R (Version earlier than 1.2), Does not support program blocks. Describes all programs in
FP-X0, FP-X one program.

 Types of program blocks (FP7 series only)

The FP7 series supports three types of program blocks. Execution timing differs depending on
the type.
Program block type Description
Initial execution type You can register a program to be executed in the first scan processing only.
Scan execution type You can register a program to be executed in every scan processing.
Constant period execution You can register a program to be executed at each certain period. You can specify
type the execution period to every 1 msec or 0.1 msec.
