The Continuous Function Chart (CFC) implementation language is a graphical programming language and extends the standard IEC 61131-3 languages. You can insert and freely position elements in a programming block in CFC.

This manual "CFC for S7" provides you with the information you require to use the CFC configuration tool in conjunction with CPUs in SIMATIC S7 programmable controllers (PLCs). For a complete description of CFC for other systems, you also require the supplementary CFC descriptions for the particular system

An tutorial is divided into several tasks and guides you step-by-step from the simples configuration work to the creation of a chart with chart I/Os and the generation of the block in the CFC.

CFC, standing for Control Flow Chart, is a powerful graphical programming language that simplifies control logic design within Siemens' TIA Portal environment. It employs interconnected function blocks to visually represent the control flow, reminiscent of …

The "Continuous Function Chart (CFC) - page-oriented" implementation language is a variant of CFC. The difference from simple CFC is that the code can be distributed on any number of "pages" in the editor. In this way, you can create extensive …

This document provides an overview of Continuous Function Chart (CFC) configuration tool in the STEP7 programming environment. It describes CFC basics such as the editor interface, block libraries, chart compilation and loading onto a PLC.

The Continuous Function Chart is an extension to the IEC 61131-3 standard, and is a graphical programming language based on the Function Block Diagram (FBD) language. However, in contrast to the FBD language, there are no networks.

A Continuous Function Chart is therefore also referred to as a block diagram. In the page-oriented CFC editor, you can connect programming blocks together and create descriptive function charts distributed over pages.
