What purpose do Global Variable files serve in the FS100 controller?

Global Variable files in the FS100 controller play a vital role in providing access to data across all jobs. This capability allows multiple jobs to share and utilize common data sets, ensuring consistency and efficiency in operations. By using Global Variables, users can define parameters or information that multiple job programs can reference and modify, thus streamlining processes and improving coordination among different tasks.

Having access to shared data means that updates or changes made in one job can be reflected in others, promoting synchronization and reducing redundancy. This is particularly useful in complex systems where various jobs may rely on the same data inputs or outputs, enhancing overall functionality and decision-making speed.

The other options do not accurately describe the function of Global Variable files. They are not limited to storing temporary data for individual jobs, nor are they exclusive to a specific control group type, nor are they primarily intended for displaying job content. Instead, their primary and most beneficial purpose centers around data accessibility and exchange across various jobs within the control system.
