Color and style for FBD-elements determined by data type

The color/style of certain FBD-elements (e.g. value fields) are determined by the underlying →data type. Faulty FBD-elements are additionally highlighted.

Data type	Representation with color	Schematic representation
`BOOL`	dark shade of blue
`BYTE, WORD, DWORD, LWORD`	medium shade of blue
`SINT, INT, DINT, LINT`	shade of pink
`USINT, UINT, UDINT, ULINT`	shade of mauve
`REAL, LREAL`	shade of orange
`TIME`	shade of green
`DATE,` `DATE_AND_TIME, TIME_OF_DAY`	shade of khaki
`STRING`, `CHAR`	shade of green
complex data type (e.g. →array data type, →structured data type)	shade of burgundy
safe data types (e.g. `SAFEBOOL`) Details: See "Highlighting safe logic in the FBD-editor".	shade of yellow

If the FBD-editor and its elements are displayed differently in your logi.CAD 3 version, the system integrator has changed the styles for the FBD-editor. In this case and for information about the changed representation, please contact your system integrator.

logi.cals recommends that you and/or your system integrator do not use yellow shades when designing FBD-elements because the color "Yellow" is used for tracking safe signals when developing safety-related applications. logi.CAD 3 does not check if colors are already used elsewhere. So the use of the yellow shades by you and/or your system integrator could have the consequence that "yellow" might also identify a non-safe logic as well.
