There must be a more efficient way.....

[mr_electrician]

Hello forum.  I am creating some code for a machine that will have 12 bays doing the exact same thing.  For example each bay will have the following:

3 Modes (Empty, Charging, Charged)

Timer (SP set from touch screen)

I have started to write the code but before I get too far into it I was wondering how more experienced OMRON programmers would go about this.

I know there is a better way than duplicating the same code for each bay with the only difference being a register pointer.

I have attached my 2 routines for you to see how I have been approaching this.

KepServer_Data.cxr

Charge_Timers.cxr

Does your processor support function blocks?

 I have a CP1H

It is funny you mention this as I was wondering last night while falling asleep if that would be the right approach and how to go about making one.

After watching a couple YouTube videos I went ahead and created my first ever FB.  Thanks @chelton for the advise!!

There is more massaging to do with it but so far it works as I need it to!
