Global signals are internal flags that can be set in the robot program like digital outputs and evaluated
like digital inputs. They can be used for example to store simple state information or to communicate
between robot program and logic program.

Since global signals can also be read and set via the CRI
and Modbus interfaces, robot programs can also use them to communicate with external applications
or a PLC. The concept of global signals is similar to coils in Modbus or a boolean in high-level language
programming.

In conditions in the robot program, the '''GSig''' keyword can be used to query the state of the global
signal. For example GSig1 for the first signal. There are 100 global signals available.

Global Signals can be defined via the "Inputs / Outputs" Tab in the configuration section.
