Local Variables

Local variables allow you to store data in memory when you start your runtime system. They are created each time the system starts, and therefore do not retain their values when you shut down.

Every Plant SCADA process has its own copy of the local variables configured in a project. This is useful when you need each process to have a separate copy of the associated data. The values in a local variable are only available to the process in which they were written.

Local variables may be of any data type supported by Plant SCADA, including two-dimensional arrays.
