*1: Not supported by FXCPU.
● Position
Position is a major class indicating the position to
which data are allocated in three types: input,
output, and internal.
The following shows the format rules
corresponding to the device format.
• X, J\X (X device) : I (input)
• Y, J\Y (Y device) : Q (output)
• Other devices : M (internal)
● Data size
Data size is a class indicating the size of data.
The following shows the format rules corresponding to the device format.
• Bit device : X (bit)
• Word device : W (word), D (double word), L (long word)
● Classification
Classification is a minor class indicating the type of a device that cannot be identified
only by its position and size.
Devices X and Y do not support classification.
For the format corresponding to the device format, refer to the following section.
