Static variable in POU
« on: June 07, 2022, 05:48:58 PM »
Hello,

I try to use POU structured text.

Please I want to use static variable as in C programming.

as example   static double var1 =0   (initialized to zero but it can be changed after in the program)
 
Thanks in advance

With bests regards

Hello macbahi,

I'm not a ST or C coder so I asked around and this is what I got.

"If the customer makes his POU a FUNCTION_BLOCK then the value of ordinary VAR variables will be kept between the calls, just like a static in C-code

ie:
FUNCTION_BLOCK MyBlock
VAR
  var1 : INT := 0;
END_VAR

"

I hope it helps.
Best regards,
Tor
