Defining background color for the interface

The interface editor provides a possibility to define a different background color for a →block.

If you are already using →calls of the →block within →graphical editors, logi.cals recommends to close all editors before the interface is changed. When e.g. the FBD-editor is re-opened, the changed interface is automatically updated in some aspects.

How to define a background color for the block:

  1. Switch to the tab Properties.

  2. Click onto the field beside of Background color.

  3. From the drop-down list, select the requested color (e.g. DodgerBlue). images/s/b2ic8e/9012/1ca6q62/_/images/icons/emoticons/information.svg The list provides the colors according to: https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css_colors.asp
    Result: The preview is updated.

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.
