In contrast to the function block, no static data can be defined in the variable declaration
table for a function.
The static data defined in a function block are retained when the block is closed. Static data
can be, for example, the memory bits used for the "Speed" limit values (see Chapter 5).
To program the function, you can use the symbolic names from the symbol table.
