3.1.2 Variable Types (Column B)
Data types determine in part how variables will be displayed. Non-boolean scalar types
can be represented in various ways such as by a number, a slider control, or a progress
bar. Boolean values can also be displayed in several formats depending on attributes.
Arrays of values can also be stored in variables and transferred from/to PLCs. By
properly using array expressions you can retrieve individual values as desired.
To indicate that a variable holds an array you append [n] to its data type. In such
case, ‘n’ indicates the total number of elements that the array will hold.
