FCs / FBs
For some communications services, there are pre-programmed blocks (FCs/FBs)
available as the interface in your STEP 7 user program.
Please refer to the documentation of the FCs / FBs in the online help of STEP 7 or
in the manual /10/.
Notice
We recommend that you always use the latest block versions for all module types.
You will find information on the current block versions and the current blocks to
download from the Internet in our customer support.

With the older module types, this recommendation assumes that you are using the
latest firmware for the particular block type.

long blocks of data:
For fast data transmission up to a data length of 1452 bytes, the SPEED
SEND/RECEIVE blocks AG_SSEND FC53 and AG_SRECV FC63 are supported.
