In this lesson, we take a look at functions in Siemens TIA Portal and how they differ from function blocks.

You’ll learn how to create a function, choose the available programming language, and understand why functions do not have static data or instance data. The lesson also covers function interfaces, return values, using the void data type, adding inputs and outputs, and calling a function from the main OB.

By the end, you’ll understand that functions work with temporary memory, cannot remember values between scans, and must be supplied with values each time they are called, while still allowing inputs, outputs, inout references, and a designated return value.

Latest Tip

TIA Portal enforces structure on certain interface TIA Portal enforces structure on certain interface elements to maintain consistency and navigation.

The project tree is one such element. It remains docked to the left, but it can be minimized or set to auto-collapse when not in use.

Understanding these constraints helps you focus on the areas that actually benefit from customization, such as editors and diagnostics.

Good layouts work with the software’s rules, not against them, resulting in faster setup and fewer frustrations.
