Syntax (from version V2.10.1025.00 onwards)

From CNC version V2.10.1025.00 onwards for external variables user defined variable types can be set. Now by this feature it is possible to use complex external variable structures both in NC program and the PLC. But a condition for that is, that byte alignment is used for the structures in the PLC.

In the following description of the configuration of external variables there is made a distinction between the definition of variable types and the instantiation of variables.
