3.9.4 User Variables
User variables are used for jobs to store counters, calculation results or
input signals. Since the same user variable can be used in multiple jobs,
save the numerical values as common references for the jobs and the
user variables are maintained even when the power is turned OFF.
User variables have the following applications:
• Controlling of the number of workpieces
• Controlling of the number of jobs
• Sending/receiving of information between jobs
The data formats for user variables are described in the following table:
