If you want to assign another icon to your new customized function block, you have
two possibilities:
– Click on Browse... to choose a user defined icon.
– Or click on Select... to open the Select Icon dialog. You can choose the icon
from a fixed library.
Select the desired icon and click OK.
Back in the Edit function block details dialog, click OK to confirm your changes.
The selected grouped function block will appear in the function block list as a
customized function block and will be available in all new projects on the same PC.
Once a customized function block has been placed on the worksheet, its content is
displayed on a new page. In the example, the name of the customized function block
is Machine 1. The worksheet for the customized function block is displayed orange.
The customized function block can not be edited.
A grouped function block contains a small pencil icon in the upper right corner
indicating that it can be edited. The customized function block contains a padlock
indicating that it is locked against modification.
