Replacing FBD elements - STEP 7

You can easily exchange FBD elements with other FBD elements of the same type. This has the advantage that the parameters are retained and need not be entered again. For example, you can exchange OR and AND, RS-FlipFlop and SR-FlipFlop, comparison functions or jump instructions.

Requirements

A network with at least one FBD element is present.

Procedure

To replace an FBD element with another FBD element, follow these steps:

1. Select the FBD element that you want to replace.

   If elements compatible with the selected FBD element are available, a triangle will appear in the upper right-hand corner of the element.

2. Position the cursor above the triangle of the FBD element.

   A drop-down list is displayed.

3. From the drop-down list, select the FBD element that you want to use to replace the existing FBD element.
