The following table shows the data types to use with PLC5 Typed Read and
PLC5 Typed Write messages.
The Typed Read and Typed Write commands also work with SLC 5/03
processors (OS303 and above), SLC 5/04 processors (OS402 and above),
and SLC 5/05 processors.
The following diagrams show how the typed and word-range commands differ.
The example uses read commands from a PLC-5 processor to a Logix5000
controller.

DINT (Only write DINT values to a PLC-5 controller if the value is
≥
−
32,768 and
≤
32,767.)
