Function blocks

Function blocks are created in logiccloud via the project tree. Within the node POUs you can create a new function block. To do this, right-click or go to the icon with the three dots and select Add POU, assign a name, select as type Function block and as Language Structured Text (ST). The structure is created automatically.
