•
Relatively small data volume
•
Very high transfer speed,
therefore: Use is intended for time-critical
information.
•
These system variables can be accessed from
the
part program
and from
synchronized
actions
. The size of the memory area for global
NCU system variables is configurable.
When a value is written in a global system variable, it
can be read by all the NCUs connected after one
interpolation cycle.
Link variables are
global system data
that can be
addressed by the connected NCUs as
system
variables
. The
–
contents
of these variables,
– their
data type
,
–
use
, and
– position (
access index
) in the link memory
are defined by the user (in this case generally the
machine manufacturer).
Link variables are stored in the link memory.
After power-up, the link memory is initialized with 0.
The following link variables can be addressed within
the link memory:
•
INT $A_DLB[i] ; data byte (8 bits)
•
INT $A_DLW[i] ; data word (16 bits)
•
INT $A_DLD[i] ; double data word (32 bits)
•
REAL $A_DLR[i] ; real data (64 bits)
According to the type in question, 1, 2, 4 or 8 bytes
are addressed when the link variables are
written/read.
Index
i
defines the start of the respective variable in
relation to the start of the configured link memory.
The index is counted from 0 up.
