6.2 Commissioning

All system variables of the STRING data type have the following properties:

● Maximum string length: 31 characters

● No distinction is made between upper and lower case

Example: "Axis1" is identical to "AXIS1"

● Spaces and special characters are permitted

Example: "Axis1" is not identical to "Axis 1"

● Names that start with two underscores "__" are reserved for system purposes and must

not be used for user-defined names.

Leading space

Since spaces are valid and distinct characters, names that start with a space followed by two

underscores "__" can, in principle, be used for user-defined names. However, because they

can be easily mistaken for system names, this procedure is not recommended.

System variables for protection areas

The individual protection areas are addressed via index_1. Index 0 → 1st protection area, index

1 → 2nd protection area, ... m → (m+1) protection area, where m =

($MN_MM_MAXNUM_3D_PROT_AREAS - 1)

All system variables of a protection area have the same index.

System variables for protection areas elements

The individual protection area elements are addressed via index_1. Index 0 → 1st protection

area element, index 1 → 2nd protection area element, ... n → (n+1)th protection area element,

where n = ($MN_MM_MAXNUM_3D_PROT_AREA_ELEM - 1)

All system variables of a protection area element have the same index.

Depending on the respective system variables, index_2 has different meanings.
