FBD Network Breaks

Network breaks can be entered anywhere in an FBD diagram.

  • Breaks have no meaning for the execution of the program; they just help in understanding big diagrams, by splitting them into a list of networks.
  • Select the Insert Network Break button in the FBD toolbar to insert a new break:

Insert network break: In this mode, the mouse is used for inserting a horizontal line that acts as a break in the diagram.

  • The break line is drawn on the whole diagram width.
    • No other object can overlap a network break.
    • Break lines can then be selected and moved vertically to another location.
  • Network breaks can also be used to browse the diagram.
    • Press the Ctrl+Page Up or Ctrl+Page Down keys to move the selection to the next or previous network break.
