Mapped element in DDT : References
Unity Pro
V8.1
• DDT (structures) can now support variables coming from
different data areas…
- Mapped data (on %MW, %I, %Q…)
- unlocated data (existing variables in the application)

• …thanks to REFERENCES (as defined in IEC1131-3 3rd ed)

- Eg : REF (MyVariable) = the address of MyVariable
MyMotor <Struct>
|_ Start REF_TO EBOOL
|_ FeedBack REF_TO EBOOL
|_ Speed REF_TO INT

Instances : value
MyMotor1
|_ Start REF_TO EBOOL REF(%Q1.1.1)
1 |_ FeedBack REF_TO EBOOL REF(%I1.2.1)
|_ Speed REF_TO INT REF(%MW100) or
REF(MyVar)

Syntax :
(MyMotor1.start)^ %Q1.1.1

References : how it works
Create DDT type Unity Pro
V8.1
Create instances (of DDT)
& set an initial value

Or create variable (EDT) & set an

initial value

In animation table or program

editor, REF^ allows to access
the referenced variable
