Hey guys, doing a small program conversion of an old system. The existing system uses an S7-200 PLC, logic is pretty straight forward however there are some block moves going on that I 90% understand but when I see * or & as a prefix, I don't know what that means.
Example:
It appears 30 bytes of data are moving from the *Temp_5 reference, starting at VB3370 - VB3399.
I am trying to understand where the source data is coming from. Temp_5 appears to be the result of a calculating a starting reference point for the block move, but does the * indicate something else?
There is another area that uses &VB3520, what does '&' mean?
Thanks! Flipping through the manual in the mean time.
