13.8.7 FBD/LD/IL Elements
The FBD/LD/IL Editor provides a toolbox which offers the programming elements for
being inserted in the editor window by drag&drop. The toolbox by default can be
opened via command 'ToolBox' in the 'View' menu.
It depends on the currently active editor view which elements are available for
inserting (see the respective description of the Insert commands). The elements are
sorted in categories: General (general elements like Network, Assignment etc..),
Boolean operators, Math operators, Other operators (e.g. SEL, MUX, LIMIT and MOVE),
Function blocks (e.g. R_TRIG, F_TRIG, RS, SR, TON, TOF, CTD, CTU), Ladder elements and
POUs (user-defined).
The "POUs" category lists all POUs, which have been defined by the user below the
same application as the FBD/LD/IL object which is currently opened in the editor. If a
POU has got assigned a bitmap in its properties, then this will be displayed before the
POU name, otherwise the standard icon for indicating the POU type. The list will be
updated automatically when POUs are added or removed from the application.
The category folders can be unfolded by a mouse-click on the button showing the
respective category name. See in the following picture: Category "General" currently is
unfolded, the others are folded. The picture shows an example for inserting an
Assignment element by drag&drop from the ToolBox. Currently only section "General"
in the toolbox is unfolded:
