About Configuring I/O Channels
The AADvance Workbench provides a set of variable structures to wire to I/O
channels. When you declare the I/O channels variables using your own tagnames you
can declare one of two types of structure (compact and full); alternatively, the primary
variable can be assigned directly to the base variable type.
The AADvance Workbench will automatically generate a set of variable elements with
the same tagname; thus depending on the chosen structure, the system automatically
wires a set of I/O variables to the channels.
The syntax for a structure variable is <tagname>.XX where XX represents the
reporting element of the variable; for example, <tagname>.DI is a Boolean that
reports the digital input state for a channel.
