Specify a Non-retentive Assignment

The non-retentive assignment is different from the regular assignment described
above in that the tag in a non-retentive assignment is reset to zero each time the
controller does the following:
• Enters the RUN mode.
• Leaves the step of an SFC if you configure the SFC for Automatic reset. (This
applies only if you embed the assignment in the action of the step or use the
action to call a structured text routine via a JSR instruction.)
A non-retentive assignment has this syntax:
tag [:=] expression ;
where:
Component
Tag
[:=]
