Command: Customizable Toolbox

Symbol:

Function: The command opens the Customizable Toolbox view. This customizable toolbox allows you to configure the provided items and contents according to your requirements.

Call: View menu

Requirement: The implementation language of the created POU is Ladder (LD2).

In the Customizable Toolbox view, you can manage a set of items which meet specific demands. Depending on the use case, various storage locations are available.

All elements from LD2 are available for the Customizable Toolbox. To create new entries in this language in the customizable toolbox, select the desired elements in the LD2 implementation part. Then use the Create New Item from Selection command to create a new item in the Customizable Toolbox.

The Restore Default Items command now also creates a set of predefined LD2 function block calls. This set corresponds to the scope of elements contained in CODESYS LD FBD. This makes it easier to insert things like timers and calculations.

You add the items contained in the Customizable Toolbox either by drag-and-drop or by double-clicking at the current cursor position of the active editor. This function is available if the editor supports the implementation language of the item at this position. You insert LD2 elements into the implementation part only.

The items and folders of the customizable toolbox can be individually arranged via drag-and-drop.
