There are four fundamental variable types in PLC programming: Boolean, Integer, Real, and String. This is a universal concept for all PLC programming but needs to be clarified due to the acronyms and various names used by manufacturers and PLC hardware. Your controller programming manual will help you understand the terms of the variables in your hardware. It is essential to understand the different types of variables available to you, the programmer. We will explore each of the four variable types, breaking down what they are and how they are used in programming your controller. Let's dive in! Detailed information and links can be found on the corresponding post located here. https://accautomation.ca/learn-4-basic-variable-types-in-plc-programming/ 00:00 Learn 4 Basic Variable Types in PLC Programming 00:58 Boolean (On / Off) PLC Variable 02:10 Integer (Number) PLC Variable 03:51 Real (Very Large or Small Number) PLC Variable 04:46 String (Character) PLC Variable Here are the controllers that we have covered at ACC Automation: Productivity Series https://accautomation.ca/series/productivity-1000-plc/ https://accautomation.ca/series/productivity-2000-series-plc-p2000/ BRX Do-More Series (Do-More Designer Software + Simulator) https://accautomation.ca/series/brx-do-more-plc/ Click PLC Series https://accautomation.ca/series/click-plc/ Omron CP1H Series https://accautomation.ca/series/omron-plc-cp1h-series/ Horner XL4 PLC Series https://accautomation.ca/series/horner-xl4-series/ https://accautomation.ca/series/easyplc-software-suite/ EasyPLC Software Suite is a complete PLC, HMI, and Machine Simulator Software package.
