PLC programming using TwinCAT 3 - Function blocks & interfaces (Part 6a/18)

Video Description

In this part we will start to look into the object oriented programming parts of structured text and IEC 61131-3 called function blocks. For those that are Java, C, C++ or just “traditional” programmers, going into the realm of function blocks is like going from C-style structures and functions, and into classes in C++. With function blocks we can go from working in a procedural style programming into objected oriented style programming. In this part we will create our very first function block and add a few methods to it.
