In the address space of the NC, the displayed variables represent the access format that has
to be extended accordingly.
Example
The variable "/Plc/MB" is in the address space. This variable must be extended by the
appropriate byte number, e.g. to "/Plc/MB6". Only then is a value supplied.
Access formats
The various
access formats are shown in the following table. When the default data type (bold
format) is used, you must expand it by the prefix "/Plc". For all others, it must be expanded by
the prefix "/Random/Plc".
Note
The data
type is converted during access with the OPC UA data access interface. Refer to the
following table for the data type conversions.
