[4] Variable
Addresses are not described as actual I/O memory addresses, but they are all described as variable names. The
basic items you should know about variables are explained below.
 Variable Types
[1] Internal variable (internals): Used only in an instance.
[2] Input variables (inputs): Variables to which data can be input from parameters outside the instance. “EN” (Enable)
for inputting input conditions is generated by default.
[3] Output variables (outputs): Variables that can output data to parameters outside the instance. “ENO” (EnableOut)
for outputting instance execution status is generated by default.
[4] External variables (externals): System definition variables pre-registered in CX Programmer, or user-defined
global variables.
