General 
The basic program consists of basic and optional functions. The basic functions include 
cyclic signal exchange between the NC and PLC.  
The options include, for example, the FCs, which can be used if required.  
The table below lists the memory requirements for the basic functions and the options. The 
data quoted represent guide values, the actual values depend on the current software 
version.
