Predefined data<br />

<strong>Characteristics</strong><br />

Mecunit is used to define the different mechanical units which can be controlled and<br />

accessed from the robot and the program.<br />

The names of the mechanical units are defined in the system parameters and, consequently,<br />

must not be defined in the program.<br />

Data of the type mecunit only contains a reference to the mechanical unit.<br />

Data of the type mecunit must not be defined in the program. The data type can, on the<br />

other hand, be used as a parameter when declaring a routine.<br />

The mechanical units defined in the system parameters can always be accessed from<br />

the program (installed data).<br />

Mecunit is a non-value data type. This means that data of this type does not permit<br />

value-oriented operations.<br />
