A breakpoint is a place in the program at which the processing is stopped. Thus it is possible to look at the values of variables at specific places within the program.

Breakpoints can be set in all editors. In the text editors breakpoints are set at line numbers, in FBD and LD at network numbers. No breakpoints can be set in function block instances.
