FBox with stretch function
Various FBoxes can be expanded, i.e. the number of input or output connections for the FBox can be defined by moving
the mouse vertically. Extendable FBoxes can be compressed or stretched further at any time.
FBox with no additional function
There are no additional functionalities for these FBoxes.
Download in run mode
These FBoxes can be downloaded during run mode. The PCD does not therefore need to be set to HALT mode first.
Selecting a FBox from the FBox Selector
The functions required for writing a program may be selected in the FBox selector, and then added to the Fupla program using drag &
drop. Assembling a program is therefore quick and easy.
Each FBox in the FBox selector has an icon. The meaning of this icon is explained
below:
FBox with adjust functions
Some FBoxes have additional adjust parameters. These are shown by a black
triangle in the bottom left. Specific properties of the FBox can be configured
using the parameters.
Offline processing of adjust parameters
Adjust parameters can be processed offline via the Properties window. The
values of the parameters are saved in the Fupla file. Before the PCD uses the new
parameters, the program must be downloaded.
Online processing of adjust parameters
Adjust parameters can be edited online via the "View, Adjust Window" instruc-
tion, which opens the window for online adjustment which displays both
the actual and the edited values. The processed values are written directly to
the memory of the PCD and not updated in the Fupla output file.
A selected FBox is placed into the program by dragging and dropping.
