The extensive library of function blocks means that even complex control tasks can be solved very easily.

The programming is carried out through a graphical interface using the QUICK II software, available free of charge. It is not therefore necessary to have knowledge of a programming language.

Simply insert the desired function block, and link it with another block in accordance with the particular task.

The 64 kbyte of memory in the Comat BoxX allows up to 127 function blocks to be stored. Once the program has been created on the PC, it is downloaded into the BoxX's EEPROM. The use of an EPROM means that the BoxX does not require a back-up battery to prevent data from being lost.

One function block can also be inserted between two other function blocks, so that even the most complex control tasks can be implemented. An internal relay with enhanced functionality is created in this way. (See figure on the right.)
