Use of Cross-function area

Dear PLCnext Community, I read in the roadmap that from version 2019.0 LTS we can use something called Cross-function area. How does this work and where can we find this function? Best regards, Stijn Noppe

Hi Stijn, I guess you mean the line “Support for multiple screens” ?! PLCnext Engineer allows to drag and drop certain areas of the programming window to additional screens, e.g. laptop with attached seperate monitor. In the later versions it will be possible to drag and drop nearly every element according to your demands to your screens, with the current version you can start to do so with the cross functions.

Cross functions are e.g. watchwindow, message window and so on… Take care

Hi Frank, So if I understand correctly, until now we cannot drag a program out of PLCnext Engineer just as we can with the watch window etc.? I am looking forward to the implementation of that function so that we have the maximum space for our code on one screen and the PLCnext Engineer environment (Plant, Components, …) on the other. Thanks for your reply, Stijn Noppe
