Declaration and Binding of Internal Variable Types for the Use of EL High-Function Modules (Global Data Type, Type System, External Types)

Declaration and Binding of Internal Variable Types for the Use of EL High-Function Modules (Global Data Type, Type System, External Types)

1.      Internal Variables Used in EL High-Function Modules: After version 4024 of TC3, for analog and gateway modules (not supported for standard I/O), a convenient feature has been introduced in the declaration and usage process:





Finally, return to the PLC options of the module to complete the link:




2.      Adding Custom Structures to System Types: The internal variables generated from this can be used during declaration. To share the custom structure type of the program with other communication usages, such as EAP, you can directly right-click on the variable name and select "Share":

 (When using the internal variable type declaration section in Step 1, please note not to add "AT%", as the internal variable type has already been added in the "external types" section.)

 



After successful mapping, activate the device to enable the use of attributes and values under the module in programming.

3.     Deletion Method: If "external types" are no longer in use, they need to be deleted from the "type system". Before deletion, it must be confirmed that all declarations and calls within the configuration and logic have been removed.



Similarly, modifications can also be made using the "edit" function as shown in the above figure.
