Here the hints given in Figure 121 were carried out. You can find more
information on the program structure in the comments.

Individually defined function block

The slide is not discussed in more detail here. Some information was already
given on page 5-14. We use its controller as an example to show how to define
a function block on your own. If you compare the movement of the slide with
that of the drill head, the robot arm etc. in general, it stands out that the same
movement occurs 5 times even in this small model.
It is worthwhile to define a function block for such frequently recurring
processes which can be used several times in the project. To be more precise,
each time it is an instance of the function block. Below we will show briefly how
to proceed.
In 'Project' 'Object' 'Add...' a new function block is created.
