13.7 Integer variables
The multifunction panel can manage and record 16 integer variables. The integer variables re-
late to inputs or signals that are received via one of the multifunction panel interfaces (RS232,
RS422/485, setup interface, or Ethernet).
The integer variables can be used in process screens and in the counters/integrators.
Integer variables are always active. If no value has yet been received, the variables contain the
value 0.
