4.1.5 Registers
Registers are areas that store data within the Machine Controller. Variables are registers with
labels (variable names).
There are two kinds of registers: global registers that are shared between all programs, and
local registered that are used only by a specific program.
Global Registers
Global registers are shared by ladder programs, user functions, motion programs, and
sequence programs. Memory space for global registers is reserved by the system for each reg-
ister type.
