Can I increase the performance when saving the FBD-editor?

Use the configuration variable lc3.fbdDeactivateStatementListSaving to increase the performance when saving an FBD-editor. The better performance becomes more noticeable when saving an FBD-editor with many pages.

However, mind that in return the comments on the evaluation of FBD-networks and their statements are not inserted anymore. When you are saving an FBD-editor, comments are inserted in the FBD-object by default. These comments are consisting of ST-statements that describe in which order the networks in FBD and their FBD-elements are evaluated. These comments are visible only in the →textual editor , they are not visible in the →graphical editor .
The comments are a possibility to get a quick overview on the changes when comparing different versions of the same FBD-object.

If you do not need those comments, proceed as follows:

1. Exit logi.CAD 3.

2. Go to the folder where you installed logi.CAD 3.

3. Locate the file logiCAD3.ini and open it in a text editor.

4. At the end of the file, enter -Dlc3.fbdDeactivateStatementListSaving and enter the value true.

   Example

   ...

   -Dlc3.fbdDeactivateStatementListSaving=true

5. Save the file.

6. Start logi.CAD 3.

7. Open the textual and graphical editor for an existing FBD-object.
   The textual editor contains comments as the following one (after the section with the declared variables):

   Beispiel

   VAR ... END_VAR

   ...

   (*

    

   // Network 1:

   SEL(G := up, IN0 := -1, IN1 := 1, SEL => @C(13).SEL);

   ADD(IN1 := count, IN2 := @C(13).SEL, ADD => count);

    

   *)

8. Make a minimal change within the graphical editor (for instance move a value field) and save the change.
   Result: Now the comments with the statements are missing.
