POU

POUs (Program Organization Units) are the basic building blocks of a PLC program. They can be functions, function blocks, or programs. POUs are created in logiccloud via the project tree. Within the node POUs you can create a new POU. To do this, right-click or go to the icon with the three dots and select Add POU, assign a name, select the type of POU you want to create, and the language you want to use. The structure is created automatically.

POU types​

There are three types of POUs in logiccloud:

  • Function: A function is a block of code that performs a specific task. Functions can be called with or without parameters.
  • Function block: A function block is a block of code that performs a specific task. Function blocks can have input and output variables and can be called multiple times.
  • Program: A program is a block of code that performs a specific task. Programs can have input and output variables and can be called multiple times.
