I recently discovered the power of using MUX in Function Block Diagram (FBD) programs, and it’s been a game-changer for optimizing my projects. For instance, in a recent setup involving multiple displays, I utilized MUX to streamline the process significantly. Here’s a snippet of how it worked:
probeDisplayed := MUX(currentview, probeAI1, probeAI2, probeAI3, probeAI4, probeAI5);
dp := MUX(currentview, 1, 1, 2, 0, 1);
um := MUX(currentView, 5, 5, 3, 1, 5);
This approach allowed me to manage different display configurations efficiently. However, I encountered a challenge when trying to increase the number of inputs to the MUX block in FBD. The default is set to 2 inputs, and I’m curious if there’s a way to expand this limit. If anyone has insights or workarounds, I’d greatly appreciate the knowledge share!
In the meantime, I’m exploring alternative methods to achieve similar functionality within the current constraints. It’s rewarding to see how MUX can simplify complex configurations, and I’m excited to continue refining my approach. Happy coding everyone!
