Labels
Label types
Labels are classified into two types, global and local.
• Global labels can be used in program components and function blocks.
• Local labels can be used only in declared program blocks.
Label class
The label class indicates how each label can be used from which program component.
The table below shows label classes.
Label definition
It is necessary to define a label to use the label.
An error will occur when a program in which labels are not defined is converted (compiled).
• When defining a global label, set the label name, class and data type, and assigns a device.
• When defining a local label, set the label name, class and data type.
You do not have to specify devices for local labels. Assignment of devices is automatically executed
during compiling.
In the example below, the label "VAR_D10" is set for the function "BOOL_TO_STR_E".
• When using "VAR_D10" as a global label
Set the class, label name, data type and device (or address).
• When using "VAR_D10" as a local label
Set the class, label name and data type.
