Hello,
I have got two programs, ProgA and ProgB. ProgA contains two local variables iValueA1 and iValueA2. ProgB contains two local variables iValueB1 and iValueB2. I want to exchange values between the two programs. For example iValueA1 should read the value from variable iValueB1 and iValueB2 should read value from iValueA2. Is there a way how to get/set values via function blocks? I don’t want to use global variables. Thank you

Hello Vaclav,
if you do not want to use global variables then you can create ports in both programs and connect them.

Hello Stefan,
yes, that is exactly what I needed. Using IN and OUT ports and mapping them in the GDS Port list because I use the structured text.
Thank you
Vaclav
