Assignment in FBD/LD/IL

Overview

Depending on the selected cursor position in FBD or LD, an assignment will be inserted directly in front of the selected input (cursor position 2), directly after the selected output (cursor position 4) or at the end of the network (cursor position 6). In an LD network, an assignment will be displayed as a coil. Alternatively, drag the assignment element from the toolbox or copy or move it by drag and drop within the editor view.

After insertion, the text string ??? can be replaced by the name of the variable that is to be assigned. For this, use the ... button to open the Input Assistant.

In IL, an assignment is programmed via LD and ST instructions. Refer to Modifiers and Operators in IL.
