14.3.1 Retain memory
The values of the retain variables are stored fail−safe in the retain memory, and therefore
are still available to the program after mains switching. Saving with C0003 = 1 is not
necessary.
ƒ Retain variables are declared by using the variable class VAR RETAIN.
ƒ Retain variables are created as a symbolically addressable memory.
ƒ At every program download, the retain variables are reset to their initialisation
value; if no initialisation value is specified, the respective retain variable is initialised
with the value ’0’.
ƒ The retain variables in the ECSxA... axis module can be reset to their initialisation
value in the online mode of the DDS by using the commands Online
Reset (cold) or
