Why are FB parameters defined as register and not as constant?

FAQ #100033

Some of the parameters of the FB's for programming the H-Modules are defined as registers that have to be loaded before the call of the FB.

 

A constant can have a value up to 16383 (

14 bit). Unlike a constant, a register can hold a 31 bit value (signed). Since the values of the parameters can be up to 31 bits, it is required to use registers to hand over the parameters to the FB
