Not possible to create OLT-field within one FBD-editor whereas it is possible within another one

Symptom: Within one FBD-editor, it is possible to create →OLT-fields. Within a different FBD-editor, it is not possible to create OLT-fields.

Cause: It is not possible to create OLT-fields within any FBD-editor.

For which elements is it possible to create an OLT-field?

The following principles are valid:

  • Within the FBD-editor for →programs or →function blocks, an OLT-field can be created for elements that have a value during the execution on the →PLC.

  • Within the FBD-editor for →functions, an OLT-field cannot be created at all.

If the creation of OLT-fields is possible within the FBD-editor, it is possible (images/s/b2ic8e/9012/1ca6q62/_/images/icons/emoticons/check.svg ) or not (images/s/b2ic8e/9012/1ca6q62/_/images/icons/emoticons/error.svg ) to create an OLT-field for the following elements:

Element

An OLT-field can be created.

a →value field containing a declared →variable

another value field (e.g. with a constant literal)

Restriction: At present, no values are displayed within such OLT-fields.

an input or output of a →function block instance

a function block instance itself

a FORCEMRK block
images/s/b2ic8e/9012/1ca6q62/_/images/icons/emoticons/information.svg An OLT-field for a FORCEMRK block differs from an OLT-field for the other elements (see examples under "OLT-fields for force marker"

images/s/b2ic8e/9012/1ca6q62/_/images/icons/emoticons/check.svg

an output of a →call of a →function

images/s/b2ic8e/9012/1ca6q62/_/images/icons/emoticons/check.svg

Restriction: These OLT-fields display a value in case of the logi.CAD 3 default scope.
If e.g. a system integrator has deactivated the d ebugging feature for FBD, the OLT-fields for function outputs do not display a value.

an input of a →call of a →function

images/s/b2ic8e/9012/1ca6q62/_/images/icons/emoticons/error.svg

a function itself

an SFC-element

In particular, for the following part of the SFC-element:

Restriction: At present, no values are displayed within the OLT-fields for SFC-elements.

→connector and →continuation
