12.13.7 Insert Empty Box
Symbol:
Shortcut: + +
This command (category 'FBD / LD / IL') is used to insert an empty box element into a
network.
See Insert Box for detailed information on inserting boxes in the FBD/LD/IL editor. In
contrast to this command, when inserting an empty box not automatically the input
assistant will open, but the instance field above the box. Then decide, which type of
box you need:
• If the box should represent a function block, then enter the desired instance
variable name and close the input with . You might use the input
assistant
for entering the name of an already existing instance. After inserting
an already declared instance variable the function block immediately will be
displayed accordingly. If you entered a not yet known instance name, you also
must specify the name of the desired function block. For this purpose after closing
the instance name input, the input focus automatically changes to the box type
edit field within the box. In this case the input assistant will only offer function
blocks.
• If the box should represent an operator, program, function or interface, then when
the cursor is placed in the instance field, just press the down arrow key. The input
focus will change to the box type field (within the box), where you can enter the
respective operator, program, function or interface name, directly or via the input
assistance. After having terminated this input, the box will be displayed
accordingly.
In the IL editor the corresponding instructions will be inserted.
