For information about the Sequential Function Chart see Chapter 'Sequential Function
Chart'.
The editor for the Sequential Function Chart must agree with the particulars of the
SFC. In reference to these, the following menu items will be of service.
Marking Blocks in the SFC
A marked block is a bunch of SFC elements that are enclosed in a dotted rectangle.
You can select an element (a step, a transition, or a jump) by pointing the mouse on
this element and pressing the left mouse button, or you can use the arrow keys. In
order to mark a group of several elements, press <Shift> for a block already marked,
and select the element in the lower left or right corner of the group. The resulting
selection is the smallest cohesive group of elements that includes both of these
elements.
Please regard, that a step can only be deleted together with the preceeding or the
succeeding transition !
'Insert' 'Step Transition (before)'
Symbol: Shortcut: <Ctrl>+<T>
This command inserts a step in the SFC editor followed by a transition in front of the
marked block.
You can select and replace the automatically specified step name „Step_<x>“ by
another string, also the transition name.
Note!
When renaming a step regard that no comment may be added. Exampe: „Step_xy (*
counter *)“ is not allowed!
'Insert' 'Step Transition (after)'
Symbol: Shortcut: <Ctrl>+<E>
This command inserts a step in the SFC editor followed by a transition after the first
transition in the marked block.
Concerning step name and transition name please see 'Insert' 'Step Transition
(before)'.
