Insert Assignment

Overview

Shortcut: CTRL + A

The FBD/LD/IL > Insert Assignment command is used to place an assignment in an LD, FBD, or IL editor.

Depending on the selected position, insertion takes place directly in front of a selected input (cursor position 2), directly after a selected output (cursor position 4) or - if a whole network or subnetwork is selected - at the end of the network or subnetwork (cursor position 6 or 11).

In FBD, the assignment is inserted as a line followed by ???. In LD, it is represented by a coil and ???:

To define the assignment, select the ??? and replace it by the name of the variable that is to be assigned. You can use the input assistant for this purpose.

In IL, an assignment is programmed via the LD and ST operators.
