Application variable

Application variables are in ProfiSignal Klicks and are used for the central storage of data during program execution. They can hold different types of data, such as numerical values, texts or strings, and thus enable flexible further processing of information within an application.

In contrast to local variables, which are only valid within a single module, application variables have a global scope of validity. They can be read and written to by all function blocks of the respective application. This makes them particularly suitable for exchanging data between function blocks, for status information, intermediate results or overarching control and logic functions.
