Graphic Objects, Continued
NOTES 1. If the Address property of a graphic object is a direct address, the Data Type
property must be specified and cannot be set to UNDEFINED. If the Address
property is a variable name, the Data Type property does not have to be
specified and can be set to UNDEFINED. If, however, the Data Type property
is specified for a variable, it must exactly match the variable’s actual data type.
2. If the Address property is a direct address for a discrete PLC reference
(Quantum 0x/1x reference), the Data Type property must be set to BOOL. The
Data Type property may be set to BOOL only for a discrete PLC reference.
3. The meaning of the possible values of the Data Type property are:
UNDEFINED no data type specified
BOOL 1-bit discrete (Boolean)
SHORT 8-bit signed integer
USHORT 8-bit unsigned integer
INT 16-bit signed integer
UINT 16-bit unsigned integer
DINT 32-bit signed integer
UDINT 32-bit unsigned integer
REAL 32-bit IEEE floating point
TIME 32-bit unsigned integer (in milliseconds)
4. The limits for the Maximum PLC Value and Minimum PLC Value properties are
the natural limits of the Data Type property that is set. A Data Type setting of
UNDEFINED is treated as a REAL with respect to its limit values.
5. For a Push Button, a minimum of one value must be provided. If the Address
property is a variable name, then only one value will ever be sent to the PLC,
and any additional values are ignored. If the Address property is a direct
address, then all of the values provided will be sent to the PLC as an array of
values starting at the specified direct address.
