IntroductionThis article provides details for the use and application of the Fn05 Force Single Coil (Modbus/TCP) function block. Using this function block with the CP1L-E provides an easy means to control a single coil via Modbus. This function block can be of particular use in PLC-based motion control applications often found in packaging machinery. To see a machine case study of a packaging application that uses Modbus and PLC-based motion control, visit the link below. industrial.omron.eu/converging_solutions

| Function Description | Fn05 Force Single Coil Function Block Forces one Coil ON or OFF conform the variable coil address and value input. | ||
| Kind of FB definition | Connect Always ON type Connect the EN input to the Always ON Flag (P_ON) The same instance cannot be used in two or more places |
||
| FB Precautions |
Omron can not be held responsible in case of malfunction |
||
| EN input condition | • Connect EN to condition for the FB to Work • Fn05 send the Request for Force the Coil • Socket Number 1 to 3 • Coil Address • (ON/OFF) Value |
||
| Restrictions Input variables |
• Socket Number 1 to 3 | ||
| Output variables | • This FB requires multiple cycles to process. • The status of the Outputs bits are Reset if the Fn05 bit is OFF. |
||
| Application example | Fn05 Force Single Coil Function Block is designed for use with the other Function Blocks. For more more details on the use of this function block see also CP1L-EL/EM Modbus TCP Client Socket Services. The Socket Number Output can be used for the Socket Number Input used by: - Open_Socket
