Edit blocks

The individual blocks of the PLC basic program or the user program can be edited directly in
the TIA Portal using the STEP 7 editors.
Information about these functions and editors is available in the higher-level help
"Programming the PLC" and in the STEP 7 Professional System Manual. (Sometimes
functions for specific PLCs are discussed there. Information that also concerns the
SINUMERIK 840D sl PLCs is marked with "S7-300".)
If you are converting from the STEP 7 V5.x toolbox, you also find special information about
programming a PLC in the sections of the "Migrating SINUMERIK projects" help.
