Use as a standard output is only possible by means of an I/O variable. The I/O variables 
must be created on the addresses of the corresponding axis channel specified via the 
hardware configuration (relating to the default start address). 
Symbolic assignment is not available for this application. 
The following figure shows the default start addresses of the onboard drive interface of the 
C230-2/C240.

An available encoder input of an axis channel (e.g. for a speed-controlled axis) can be used 
as an input for a 16-bit up/down counter (90-degree pulse train of a connected TTL encoder, 
zero pulse not required). The counter value can be accessed by means of an I/O variable 
(default start address of the axis channel). Symbolic assignment is not available for this 
application.
