ALIAS is much more powerful than CONST. Constant expressions are computable at compile-
time, whereas an alias has a value that may only be known at the time that it is being used. For
this reason aliases should be used with care – over-use of aliases can make it very difficult to
read a program.
Example
Alias CONVEYOR_IS_RUNNING = (DIN1.STATE = 0)
if CONVEYOR_IS_RUNNING then
print "The conveyor is running"
end if
