Connecting FBs

Detailed information on the device-specific properties of the FB Editor can be found in the

corresponding online help of the controller in the section Working with the FB Editor.

Tips for connecting function blocks
The FB Editor enables you to...

• ...move an existing connection to another input/output:

• A click on the point of connection of an assigned block input disconnects the existing line

which can then be moved to another input. The same works for flag connections

(representation as flag).

• A click on the point of connection of an assigned block output disconnects the existing line

which can then be moved to another output. Before moving, mark the desired line, otherwise

a new one will be drawn. Connections shown as flags must be converted into lines before

(representation as line).

[8-7]

Example for moving a connection end point in the FB Editor (representation: Connection as line)

• Connections shown as flags can be moved the same manner.

• ... assign several inputs with the same signal:

• A click on the connection point of an assigned block input with simultaneously pressed <Ctrl>

key (Left mouse button + <Ctrl>) causes another line with the same starting point as the

existing line.

• Connections shown as flags can be extended the same manner.

Scenario: The existing connection (line)

between bOut and bTi8 is to be moved.

• Click the end point of the connection

• The connection is enabled (green

connection line)

• Move the end point of the connection line

to the desired FB input.

• In the example of bTi8

to

bTi2

).

• Click the desired FB input to define the new

end point of the connection.

• In the example of bTi2

• The connection has been moved from the

bTi8 input to the bTi2 input.
