How to integrate and call SFB into FB

[Scarch]

I need to call 128 times the SFB3. I have it declared in the STAT of the FB, but how to call it? and how to generate the instance DB associated with the SFB?

Many thanks

you call sfb3 in the same way as any other FB.

Creating a large number of timers is a perfect example where "function block nesting" can be used.
here is a sample program where 128 timers created using "nesting":

it took me about 7 minutes to make it, so it's a huge time savier, but it's a bit messy:)

Its done in TIA12. i hope it helps

Many thanks almaz78 but unfortunately I am not using TIA portal (too many failures yet), I have a 319 CPU with normal Step7...

I wonder if you could put the example you have done under Step 7...
