Thank you for checking out this latest video brought to you by RealPars.

Today you will learn about control or function blocks. Specifically what they are and when we use them with automation and PLCs.

Different programmers call them by different names, and that can be confusing, but I hope to clear things up for you today.

Function Block programing is immensely far more useful than what has been explained here. Great video. But these blocks have enormous advantages in programing a very large project and in reducing many many errors.

Thank you realpars, l am one of your favorite fan. I checked when this video was made, l see its 3 years ago. However l want to add and highlight, function blocks(FBs) do exist for user program clarity and re-usability and your explanation was okay. Now the ones you named control blocks do not exist as control blocks but they are fuctions(FCs), since they were made for us already, they are rightly termed SFCs. Keep the fire burning.

It would be nice to make a video about analog inputs and how to scale them, thanks for the effort.
