Minimum	Literal, variable (integer data type), or constant variable (integer data type) for the initial value of the segment Requirement: The Display Mode is Fixed. Examples: `20,PLC_PRG.iLimit_Min, GVL.c_iLimit_Min` Note The variable has to have an initial value. This is important for the offline display and the scaling subdivision. Example: `iLimit_Min : INT := 20`
Maximum	Literal, variable (integer data type), or constant variable (integer data type) for the end value of the segment Requirement: The Display Mode is Fixed. Examples: `80,PLC_PRG.iLimit_Max, GVL.c_iLimit_Max` Note The variable has to have an initial value. This is important for the offline display and the scaling subdivision. Example: `iLimit_Max : INT := 80`
