→Temporary variable

→variable whose value is stored temporary, thus it is not stored from one →call to the next one

Depending on the type of the →POU, temporary variables are:

Type of POU	Variables from the section	Information on ST-syntax provided under
→function blocks and →programs	`VAR_TEMP ... END_VAR`	"Declaration of temporary variables in ST"
→functions and →methods	`VAR_TEMP ... END_VAR`,`VAR ... END_VAR`	"Declaration of temporary variables in ST", "Declaration of internal variables in ST"

logi.cals recommends for functions and methods to declare temporary variables within the section VAR ... END_VAR (instead within section VAR_TEMP ... END_VAR ,) .
