Panasonic FP7 Series - Global Devices and Local Devices

2.8 Global Devices and Local Devices
■
Global devices
● While a global device has a unique number throughout the entire program, a local device has
a unique number inside each program block.
● For example, "Global device DT100" refers to the same data memory in program blocks A
and B. Therefore, data of DT100 is overwritten if the relevant information is revised in either
program block A or B.
● Global devices are utilized when the operation memory is required to be shared between
multiple program blocks (PB) for external input/output or other purposes.
Program block A Program block B
DT100
Refer to the same area
■
Local devices
● If data of local device dt10 is changed in either program block A or B, since the local device
is allocated to different data memory, the data for one program block will not be overwritten
by the other program block.
Program block A
Program block B
