Labels

You can create block-independent and associated labels using the text tool of the programming toolbar. To do so, click on the text tool.

When this icon is active, open a text input box by clicking on a free area of the programming interface or on a block. After you have entered the label text, simply click anywhere outside the label window or press the [ESC] key. The window is closed and the label text is displayed in the diagram. That label can now be selected, moved or aligned.

Example for the FBD Editor:

Block independent and associated text

Click on a free area of the programming interface to create a block independent label. A label can be edited by calling the text tool and then clicking on the relevant label.

By clicking on a block with the text tool, you create an associated label, namely the block comment. You can also input and edit this comment in the comments tab of the block properties dialog. The block comment can be used, for example, to assign a name to a block or to insert comments describing the task of the block within your circuit.

If you select a block with an associated label, the text is not marked. However, when you move the block, you also move the label. When you copy or cut the block, only the block itself is copied to the clipboard. A cut operation deletes the associated label. However, the associated label can be selected and moved, copied, cut or pasted individually. An associated label that is pasted from the clipboard is no longer associated with the block.

In Edit -> Input/Output Names you can assign block numbers and connector names to the I/Os.
