Using variables can hold data such as parameters and measurement results of processing items, and
reference or calculate data between processing units or between scenes.
There are two kinds of variables as shown below.
Scene variable: Available in a defined scene. It cannot be set or referenced across scenes.
System variable:
Available in a defined line. It can be set or referenced across scenes or scene groups,
but cannot be set or referenced on different lines in Multiple line random mode.
In the Scene variable tab screen or the System variable tab screen, variables can be registered,
deleted, changed, and assigned.
For more details, refer to 5-5-1 Edit Flow Screen on page 5-14.
The number of variables that can be used depends on the amount of “Remaining variable defini-
tions”. Check it on the Scene variable tab screen or System variable tab screen.
When defining variables, you can choose whether a variable holds the current value when the
power is turned off, or is reset.
Variables are also used in Macro Customize Functions.
For details, refer to FH/FHV/FZ5 Series Macro Customization Programming Manual (SDNB-721).
In a flow in which variables are used, the parallel processing is restricted. Refer to restrictions and
setting method of parallelization function.
For details, refer to Restrictions and Setting Procedures in 4-4-2 Parallel Processing on page 4-29.
