18 Working with the FB Editor
The function block editor (in the following called "FB Editor") is available in the »Engineer« from the
"StateLine" device version.
The FB Editor can be used to carry out an online monitoring of the technology application running
in the device (e.g. for diagnostic purposes) and reconfigure the I/O interconnection of the
technology application.
Functional range
The options for processing function block interconnections depend on the device version:
18.1 Basics
Using the function block interconnection, any signal interconnection can be implemented. Various
FBs are available for digital signal processing, signal conversion and logic modules.
For special tasks it has proved of value to use the integrated technology applications as a basis for
modifications or extensions of the available FB interconnections. Depending on the device version
(see Functional range ), the experienced user has the opportunity to implement own drive solutions
independent of the predefined technology applications by using the "free interconnection".
For this purpose, the FB Editor provides the following functions:
• Copying & pasting of interconnection elements (also device-independent)
• Export & import of the interconnection
• Comparison of two interconnections (also online <-> offline comparison)
• Overview window and zoom functions
• Comments on the signal flow
• Online monitoring
The option to mask out non-used inputs and outputs of modules is also sensible to minimise the
complexity of the FB interconnection and to adapt the clarity of the interconnection to the
customers need.
All graphical information of the FB interconnection view (positions of the FBs, line or flag
presentation of the connection, visibility of the inputs/outputs) are saved with the parameter set in
the memory module of the controller and can be uploaded any time into the FB Editor of the
»Engineer« even if the Engineer project is not available.
