-    * eparam - External Parameter variable. If M-code running from G-code program, 16-bit integer parameters P and L are sent to the PLC procedure in the **eparam** variable. \\ P-parameter in a low word of the eparam value and \\ L-parameter in high word of eparam value. To decode P and L parameters from **eparam** simple 2-lines code can be used <code>P=eparam&0xFFFF;//P-parameter +    * eparam - External Parameter variable. A short manual is available here: [[plc:plc:eparam|Eparam]]

 +It is possible to access the state of the output via gvarget commands from within the PLC process:
 +
 +<code>a=gvarget(0x400); //OUT0
 +b=gvarget(0x407); //OUT7</code>
 +
 +Starting from 0x400 to represent OUT0, this is a hexadecimal system that is simple to convert to dotted decimals (through the likes of a simple reference site [[https://www.hexadecimaldictionary.com/hexadecimal/0x400/|here]]). Thus, for example, //gvarget(0x40d);// will return the state of Output #13.
