9.3.3 Steps of Programming F-CIM
The steps involved in programming the controller using F-CIM are:
1. Define the control strategy to be implemented
2. Select the function blocks that can be used for implementing the defined control
strategy
3. Draw the function block diagram using these function blocks
4. Enter data on a work sheet for the function blocks
Each function block has its associated inputs and outputs. In general there are 4 inputs to
each block. These inputs are labeled as follows:
• A, B and C – these inputs are configurable
• Sn-1 – this input is the output of the previous step (previous function block)
The F-CIM program is executed in steps. The 53MC5000 controller can execute 100 F-
CIM program steps. Step number range from 0 to 99. In general, each Function Block
requires one step.
