The following machine data is representative for all variable types (INT, BOOL, AXIS, CHAR,
STRING): MD18660 $MN_MM_NUM_SYNACT_GUD_REAL[1].
Note
Display of NC/PLC variables
● System variables can be dependent on the channel. When the channel is switched over, the
values from the selected channel are displayed.
You have the option of having the variables displayed channel-specifically, e.g.
$R1:CHAN1 and $R1:CHAN2. The values of channel 1 and channel 2 are displayed, no
matter in which channel you are.
● For user variables (GUD), it is not necessary to make a specification according to global or
channel-specific GUD. The first element of a GUD array starts with index 0 as for NC
variables.
● Using the tooltip, you can display the OPI notation for NC system variables (except for GUD).
Servo variables
Servo variables can only be selected and displayed at "Diagnostics" → "Trace".
