In this article, you will learn how to use function blocks for motion control in ladder logic and function block diagram, two common languages for control engineering.

Educational advantages and disadvantages of dynamical analogy and block-diagram models for interdisciplinary systems are discussed. If the system equations are known, a block-diagram is a useful ...

The paper describes a novel approach to model any deterministic manufacturing system. A function block diagram type of model is proposed. A block can be a single machine or a factory. The model is ...
