For each NC axis a data block of 128 bytes is available for data transport from the NC to the PLC, and another data block, also 128 bytes, is available for data transport from the PLC to the NC. The PLC programmer must create a variable for each direction and each axis, and must fix them in the I/O area with the AT instruction to the input and output area. The assignment of NC variables to PLC variables is carried out by the TwinCAT System Manager.
