Parameters
• Input Parameters to Input Variables
An input parameter passes a value to an input variable in a function block when function block
execution begins. An input parameter can be either a variable or a constant.
• Output Parameters from Output Variables
An output parameter receives a value from an output variable in a function block when function
block execution is completed. A variable is given as the parameter.
Additional Information
You can omit input and output parameters. For details on the operation, refer to the NX-series
