Connectors and continuations
A connector and its continuations are elements in →FBD to continue a line at other positions within the function logic. Hence, use connectors and continuations to replace some of the lines. Imagine that there is an "invisible" line between the connector and each of its continuations.
Representation
Color/style of a connector and its continuations is determined by the data type that is used for the line.
Example for assigning a value for In1 to Out1 via connector/continuation C1:
Depending on the configuration of your Neuron Power Engineer version, the FBD-editor and its elements might be displayed differently in your Neuron Power Engineer version than illustrated in the IDE documentation. This is the case, if Neuron or the system integrator has activated the smart styling or one of them has changed the styles for the FBD-editor. Subsequently, the illustration in the IDE documentation are symbolic images and the representation in your Neuron Power Engineer version takes precedence for the valid representation. In case of doubts, please contact Neuron or your system integrator.
Neuron 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. This recommendation applies in particular when you are using the legacy styling. Neuron Power Engineer 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.
