DriveRadar® parameters

DriveRadar® parameters are the structures in the user interface that contain the data to be recorded from the devices or device components in variables. The structure of the DriveRadar® parameters differs depending on the data type of the parameter to be recorded (e.g. DINT, STRING, LREAL) only in the data type of the Value variable.

The following figure and the following table provide an example of the structure and variables of the DriveRadar® parameters:
