Hope the best of all!
is it possible to set real values as a global variable in IRC5 Rapid language like (speed/position) of an AC Servo and control the servo from IRC5 pendant.
I mean digital signals can be defined and can be used to map the PLC IO bits that makes servo on/off (servo is controlled using Siemens PLC), but to control the speed and position of ac servo from IRC5 pendant. can we define global variables to enter the values in pendant (rapid program) the motion speed and position. 
any hint pleaseee

    Map group outputs to the PLC for position and speed.

    Yes, single bit signals can be made for on/off (0/1), but you can also make group and analog input signals for larger numeric values.
