3.2.3.2
Naming scheme for the unit-global variables
The global variables serve as connection elements between the components and have the
following structure:
%ORFNQDPH!B6RXUFH!B0HDQLQJ!
Section
Description
Example
①
Specification of the DCC library block
Trolley, Hoist, Common, TLS, Targets, Ob‐
stacle, Camera, Intpo, Diag
②
Source of the variables.
BT, SC, PLC, CAM, TO
③
Meaning of the variables. This is identical
with the name on the DCC blocks and on the
function blocks.
e.g. Brake_Closed, Active
Example:
7UROOH\B3/&B%UDNHB&ORVHG
