dialog box to opens, as shown in Figure 6.2.
Figure 6.2 Add Project Variable
2. Enter the Variable name. This name must follow the
Variable naming conventions discussed in “Naming
Conventions” on page 49.
3. If you want to create several Variables with similar
names, enter the root name in the
Name field and enter
a starting number and ending number in the Increment
field. By this method, multiple Variables are created,
each named with the root name and each appended with
a number.
4. Select the Variable type from the list of types, either:
• BOOL (Boolean)
• INT (Integer)
• LONG (Long integer)
• REAL (Floating Point)
5. Enter the Initial Variable Value . If this field is left
blank, zero is the default value. The Variable holds the
value of zero until the Program changes that value. Initial
value can be used for constant values of function blocks
or constant true/false Variables.
