Variables - Overview
Global Variables / Data

(valid in the entire program)
PII / PIQ
Local Variables / Data

(only valid in one block)
Static Variables
Temporary Variables
M/T/C
are overwritten with undefined

values after the associated
block is executed
DB areas
temporary storage in L stack
I / O Peripherals
usable in OBs / FCs / FBs
absolute
are retained even after the

block is executed
permanent storage in DBs
can be used in FBs only
