Standard: When activating this optional button, the standard (IEC) character set in names can be used (for example, section names, variable names, step names, and so on). It is not possible to use accented characters (for example ’é’).

Extended: When activating this optional button, the ASCII character set in names can be used (for example, section names, variable names, step names, and so on).It is possible to use accented characters.

Unicode: When you activate this optional button, the unicode character set in names can be used (for example, section names, variable names, step names, and so on). This option is necessary to create elements in not-roman alphabets like Chinese.

When activating this check box, for generic parameters of data type ANY_BIT, the parameters of data type INT or DINT can be used (not UINT and UDINT).

For example:

Allowed:

AND (AnyBitParam := IntVar1, AnyBitParam2 := IntVar2):

Not allowed:

AND_WORD (WordParam1 := IntVar1, WordParam2 := IntVar2); (In this case, use AND_INT.

AND_ARRAY_WORD (ArrayInt, ...) (In this case, perform an explicit type conversion using INT_ARR_TO_WORD_ARR (...).

When this check box is checked, it is possible to:

• Declare references via indexed addresses (for example, %MW1[3]).

  See References using indexed addresses

• Reference bits and words as tables (Array) (for example, %MW1:16).

  See Table of bits and words

• Use a combination of both of them (for example, %MW1[3]:16).

When activating this check box (default state), variables of Reference type have to be initialized when they are created in the Data Editor, otherwise errors messages will be displayed during build.

When the check box is not activated, if the variable of Reference type are not initialized in the Data Editor, they are initialized by default with the NULL value, then they have to be assigned by the REF function in the application program.
