13.8.8 FBD/LD/IL Editor in Online Mode
In online mode the FBD/LD/IL Editor provides views for monitoring and for writing and
forcing the variables and expressions on the controller. Debugging functionality
(breakpoints, stepping etc.) is available. See below.
• For information on how to open objects in online mode see User Interface in Online
Mode.
• Notice that the editor window of an FBD, LD or IL object also includes the
Declaration Editor in the upper part. See also in this context: Declaration Editor in
online mode.
Monitoring
If the inline monitoring is not explicitly deactivated in the Options dialog, it will be
supplemented in FBD or LD editor by small monitoring windows behind each variable
resp. by an additional monitoring column showing the actual values (Inline
Monitoring). This is even the case for not assigned function block inputs and outputs.
The inline monitoring window of a variable shows a little red triangle in the upper left
corner, if the variable currently is forced, a blue one in the lower left corner, if the
variable currently is prepared for writing or forcing. Example for a variable which is
currently forced and prepared for releasing the force:
