Soft_Int
A Soft Int can be used in logic programs by creating a variable in the
logic program that points to the Soft Int as if it were physical I/O.
This allows the logic program to examine and set values of Soft Ints.
For example, a Soft Int could be used to allow a user to set a timer
preset in a logic Program. The I/O address for a Soft Int is the Soft
Int number.
To associate a variable with a Soft Int:
1.
Open the Add Program/Resource Variable dialog box.
2.
Enter a unique variable Name.
3.
Select INT from the Type list.
4.

(1-100).
