The following block-template snippets for AX Code are based on the

PLCopen-like standard **'Function Blocks for Motion Control' V2.0** which can also be found in the LGF library for TIA Portal [here](https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/109479728).

This collection consists of 6x PLCopen FB code-snippets (3x "Execute"-variants / 3x "Enable"-variants) plus 2x complementary structured-types. We also added 4x basic FC's and 4x basic FB's variants inspired by PLCopen, which in addition should emphasise you to build more predictable blocks(interfaces) with standardized execution behaviours.

These vscode snippets gives you a head-start in content creation for your very own SIMATIC AX library or application.

*"The PLCopen organization has defined a standard for Motion Control blocks. This standard can be generalized in that way, that it can be applied to all asynchronous blocks. Asynchronous means in this context, that the execution of the function inside the block extends over multiple (more than one) execution cycles of the PLC, e.g. for communication, closed loop control or motion control applications."*

*"Blocks which are started and initialized only once and afterwards remain in operation to respond to inputs have an "enable" input parameter.

18
Example: A communication block (acting as server) waits after initialization for incoming connection requests from a client. After a successful data exchange the server waits for other incoming connection requests.

Setting the parameter "enable" starts the execution of an asynchronous task. If "enable" remains set, the task execution remains active and new values are being accepted and processed.

*"Blocks, which get executed only once have an input parameter "execute".

Example: A communication block (client) requests data of a server only once. This is triggered by an edge at the input signal "execute". After the processing the reply the execution is done. A new request is placed by another edge on "execute". A rising edge on "execute" starts the task and the values at the input parameters are applied.

Any changes to the values after the start of the task only take effect after a start of a new task, unless "continuousUpdate" is being used.

- This package currently has no ST OOP content
128
134
- This package only ships .json vs-code snippet files that work for .st files
129
135
- The code-snippets follow our [SIMATIC AX style-guide](https://console.simatic-ax.siemens.io/docs/st-styleguide) for ST-programming
130
136
- The snippets may or may not include TIAX restrictions, which unfortunatly cause unwanted transformations or compile errors using it blank in "AX2TIA" library-projects, that used to be converted to TIA Portal. Please always check back the latest [news](https://console.simatic-ax.siemens.io/docs/ax2tia/restrictions) on these restrictions. There are no workarounds implemented.
