Package variables

Package variables - Up.<identifier>
Package variables are variables that have significance only within a package. The control does
not know these variables and so they are not transferred to the control.
The package variables consist of an identifier, preceded with the Up.Up. prefix.
The characters that are also permissible in the NC for <identifier> are permissible for identifiers.
The same rules as for the NC apply generaly (no accented characters, no spaces, etc.).
Package variables are identified by prefix "Up.". Depending on their definition, package
variables are classified according to the following categories:
Category Defined by
Script User in manipulation tasks or scripts
DO (drive object) User in "SINAMICS topology" dialog page or via the
DOVar function
System The system using the package configuration

Variable Syntax
Script variable
Up.<Name>
DO variable
Up.<Name>.<Property>
System variable
Up.$<SysName>.<Property>
All package variables are defined in the same namespace. Consequently, unique names
("Name") must be used throughout all categories. Package variables are accessed using the
Up. prefix. Package variables can be used throughout a package in dialog scripts, step scripts,
scripts and manipulation tasks, as well as in interface texts (functions, notes, etc.) .
Package variables can also be used with the replacement operator, see Special operators
(Page 289). Package variables can also be used in all script areas, see Data access
(Page 333).
A variable name "Name" that can be entered by the user must start with a letter or an
underscore and comprises the characters A-Z_0-9. Uppercase/lowercase is not relevant.
Package variables that receive their value from the system can only be accessed in read-only
mode.
