Assignments

An assignment is an FBD element that takes up the incoming signal flow in a network and stores it in an operand (meaning that is write it to the variable.) A variable is always required for an assignment. Assignments can be inserted only at the output of a box.

An assignment is inserted using the Insert Assignment command.

Tip

When assigning non-SAFE values to SAFE variables or SAFE inputs, the variable and the input are marked in dark red in the editor.
