Function description

This FB is used to switch between freely definable states (each state is defined by a state text and a state number) via the inputs 'xStateUp' and 'xStateDown'. After the first download, a subsequent download, every online change and at every rising edge on the 'xResInit' input, the initial state is set. The index of the initial state is defined by the input 'bInitState'.

In case of error, the string 'Error' is output at the 'sStateName' output and the value -1 is output at the 'iStateNumber' output.

This function block can be applied as follows:
