TwinCAT automatically checks the correct use of keywords and identifies errors with a red squiggly line immediately when they are entered.

	When TwinCAT creates implicit code, variables and functions are usually given a name that contains "_". The use of double underscores in the implementation code is automatically prevented. Thus, there can be no conflicts between the system internal and the identifiers assigned by the programmer.

The following keywords are used in the TwinCAT export format. Therefore, you must not use them as identifiers:
