4.7 Libraries
A library is an aggregation of data including POUs, global labels, and structures organized in a
single file to be utilized in multiple projects.
The following are the advantages of using libraries.
• Data in library files can be utilized in multiple projects by installing them to each project.
• Since library data can be created according to the functions of components, data to be reused
can be easily confirmed.
• If components registered in a library are modified, the modification is applied to projects that
use the modified data.
The following figure shows the data flow when using library components in a project.
