Implementation:
(* possible: *)
colorvar1 := colors_1.blue;
colorvar2 := colors_2.blue;
(* not possible: *)
colorvar1 := blue;
colorvar2 := blue;
2. The base data type of the enumeration - which by default is INT - can be explicitly
specified.
Example:
The base data type for enumeration BigEnum should be DINT:
TYPE BigEnum : (yellow, blue, green:=16#8000) DINT;
END_TYPE
Subrange types
A subrange type is a user defined type whose range of values is only a subset of that of
the basic data type. Notice the possibility of using implicit range boundary checks.
The declaration can be done in a DUT object but also a variable can be directly declared
with a subrange type:
Syntax for the declaration as a DUT object:
TYPE : (..) END_TYPE;
must be a valid IEC identifier,
is one of the data types SINT, USINT, INT, UINT, DINT, UDINT, BYTE, WORD, DWORD (LINT,
ULINT, LWORD).
Is a constant which must be compatible with the basic type and which sets the lower
boundary of the range types. The lower boundary itself is included in this range.
Is a constant that must be compatible with the basic type, and sets the upper boundary of
the range types. The upper boundary itself is included in this basic type.
Examples:
TYPE
SubInt : INT (-4095..4095);
END_TYPE
