Project elements

POUs​

A POU (Program Organization Unit) contains a well-defined part of the program for modularization and structuring. The POU has a defined interface with inputs and outputs and can be called and executed multiple times. POUs can be programs, functions or function blocks.

Configurations​

Zugriffsvariablen / Access Variables​

Access variables are variables that are also available outside the program. They are used to display and describe values in the HMI or to establish connections to the program via MQTT .

Config variables​

Can be used to give initial values to certain variables in different POUs. These are defined via the project tree at Config Variables .

Tasks​

Tasks control the execution of programs, functions and function blocks. They can be executed cyclically or trigger-controlled.

Data types​

Data Types are custom definitions of data types that can be used throughout the project.

// Data Type
