Data Types
De definere hvad der kan indsættes i den variable man prøver at arbejde med om det skal være heltal, decimal tal eller tekst. Ud over det kan det også definere hvor mange bytes det skal optage i controllerens memory.
De gør at der ikke opstår fejl ved fx matematiske beregninger hvor tekst ikke kan indgå.
Det er altid vigtigt når man arbejder med en specifik controller at tjekke op på hvad dens forskellige datatypes er og hvor mange bits/bytes den kan godtage.
Du vil støde på dem i næsten alt programmering. Men inden for vores fag vil det typisk være når du skal behandle tal på PLC'en eller udlæse data fra en føler/enhed der fx bruger en bus forbindelse som fx modbus.
Her er en lille liste over de typiske data types:
BOOL - Boolean - Sand eller falsk - Høj eller lav - 1 eller 0Bool er nok den vi bruger mest inden for alm EL og Automation. og den behøver ikke meget forklaring.
INTEGER - Int - Positiv og negativt Heltal
Signed 15 bits - 16bit men det sidste bit bruges til at definere om tallet er positivt eller negativt.

Dobble
Unsigned 32 bits
0 til 4,294,967,295
Long
Signed 31 bits - 32bit men det sidste bit bruges til at definere om tallet er positivt eller negativt.
-2,147,483,648 til 2,147,483,648
String
String er rent tekst men tjek altid hvor lang denne string kan være.
Eksempel på sql data types:
Har valgt at vedhæfte eksempel på en SQL database da den meget godt beskriver mange forskellige types man vil kunne støde på.Tekst baseret Types
