GLOBAL SYMBOLS
Global symbols are know to all the files in the CPU.
Make locak symbols
global:
If you want to use the same symbols in several files, then you have to move the
symbols from the local list to the “GLOBAL” list (just mark some symbols in
the list use the “Make Global” function (right mouse click)). Once a symbol is
listed as “GLOBAL”, you can access it from any file within your project.
Sharing data between two different PCD’s is more complicated than sharing
information between files. You need some kind of network connection between
the two PCD’s. This network connection can be designed in our network editor
(to date we support: Sbus, Profibus DP, Profibus FMS and LON Networks).
The “Network Editor” lists all the symbols in the “Network” list, and you can
use them in your program in order to move data from one PCD to the other.
